I need answers: can a father, who has been absent for about 5 years in February and waived his parental rights in front of the judge, flies for child custody?

He can file for whatever he wants. Whether he will get custody is up to a judge. If he relinquished his rights, he will have a really hard time regaining custody. Did someone else adopt the child?

@iqrahp5, oh, weird. My state won’t allow a parent to relinquish rights unless someone else is willing to take over guardianship of the child. I assume he doesn’t pay child support?

@momgroupreject he is trying to get the court to stop paying child support since last year

@iqrahp5, so he didn’t relinquish his rights. He may have said “I don’t want visitation” but financially he’s still responsible. So he definitely can file but if you have his statements on record, you can gather them all and see a lawyer before you respond to the papers.
Once a person loses their parental rights, whether by force or willingly, they have no rights to custody, communication, contact, information, etc regarding the child. If the rights were terminated legally by the judge the court will have no choice but to deny the request of custody and a hearing won't even be set and if it is, once the evidence is presented that rights were terminated it will be denied. Ask assistance from a reputable family law attorney in your area. Most will give a free consultation and answer basic questions. Best of wishes!

Yes bit up to the judge. My step daughters mom was in jail for 4 years. Her daughter was taken at age 1 because she was found in a meth house. Husband has private investigators out looking for his daughter for 6 months no one could find her. When mom wa sin jail she waived all parental rights. When she was released she never contacted for a long time when she found out I was raising her daughter she flew in so fast to be her mom and the judge said sure why not. Stupid judge thats when all the problems in our house slowly started to fall apart.
