What do you mean you can't believe this is legal?

It's a private adoption and it's available to any parent in the US.  A parent/parents can choose to place their child at any time via private adoption and there is no age limit.  This can be their own biological child or a child they adopted.[/quote]

In my family, we are dealing with a father who has primary custody. Divorce agreement stipulated that mother can see children, but is not financially responsible for them in any way. Mother is broke, and this state is not kind to former SAHMs in divorce, no matter what MRAs tell you. She got nothing after over a decade of marriage.

Anyway, father kicks out Child, Child moves in with relative, Father doesn't pay a dime for the care of Child. Legal counsel tells Relative, in effect, that parents have no obligation to their children. They can't be punished or fined for not paying a cent or housing them, absent a court ordered divorce agreement. Rarely, vanishingly rarely are parents even charged criminally for severe torture and abuse. [/quote]

This is not true.  The relative if the child is under 18 can file for legal guardianship and/or child support.[/quote]
