My brother inlaw wants to live with us, does his dad have to give up parental rights?
Okay his mom died last year, he's 15. He is a bright smart funny kid. He currently lives in Philadelphia with heavy violence and drug activity. His father is never home and often forget to pay rent or the water bill. He comes to our house almost every weekend. He may feel comfortable here because we give him attention and he enjoys the safe environment.
He is failing everything except math. His dad said yes at first but said no because he doesn't want to give up his parental rights. Plus he gets a SSI check from his son's dead mother. Is it possible he could give up partial parent rights or make his brother legal guardian? I'm sick of watching the news and praying it's not him that has been shot.
Any help is appreciated thanks.Or any help on how to convince this man to help his son have a better future. thanks

First of all if his son comes to live with you he does not have to give up his parental rights. He can give you what is called a delgation of parental authority or just transfer custody. It is selfish of him only to keep this kid for a check. Maybe you guys should file in family court to get custody of him or file a report with child protection about the drugs and violence.
I hate manipulation but maybe if you guys tell him that you won't go after the check if he gives you legal custody you can wait until it is final and then go after the check. Just a thought.
this guy seems like a true jerk. The kid needs to be talking to his counselor about the drugs and violence so that they can protect him.

i could understand if the two mothers and fathers have been unable to paintings and necessary some help each and every now and then. there isn't any way i could provide the BIL money for my inlaws. so far as "dad is in simple terms too proud" to allow all and sundry help. Is the BIL giving them the money announcing it truly is from him on my own?!? That sounds slightly abnormal to me. in the event that they necessary groceries, i could purchase them some groceries and take to them. in the event that they necessary help with a utility, i could pay directy to that utility company. there isn't any way i could provide money no understanding to who or what it substitute into going too. feels like the BIL is desiring money to me. I agree if there isn't a actual or psychological reason stoping the FIL from working, he needs to get a job. If there's a actual or psychological reason he needs to hitch for incapacity. No disrespect on your inlaws, yet, i'm advantageous they understand you may desire to have money to make ends meet. that is unfair of all and sundry to anticipate you, husband, and kinfolk to "enhance" his mothers and fathers in the event that they (FIL) chooses to not paintings. You and all and sundry else has household projects and a kinfolk of their own to enhance.
