If your parental rights have been terminated by a court of law and/or your children have been lawfully adopted, most states have no provision for reinstating parental rights or overturning an adoption order unless particular conditions are met, such as fraud, duress, coercion, and so on. This decree also absolves the terminated parent of the need to pay child support. Except in situations of adoption, a parent cannot deliberately "sign away" his or her parental rights. In general, unless it is considered to be in the best interests of the child, a court will not allow a parent to relocate a kid in a way that affects the other parent's entitlement to custody.
