Does my child's father have to sign in order for me to give temp custody over to my mother for me to join the military?

I am joining the military in hopes for a better life for my daughter and I. I have got to sign over temporary custody of her until I get out of basic training and AIT. My daughter's father is no where to be found for me to get permission to do this. He is on the birth certificate. We were never married. Is he going to have to sign in order for me to do this, and if so what is it that I need to do to make sure that my mother would have her.

I think it depends on the state your in, but if he has been absent from your child's life, then you may not need his consent. contact a lawyer, or the court so you can get more info

The military recruiter should be able to assist you with this. I was in the military, so I will do my best to help.

The military requires something called a family care plan. The military requires you to list the plans for the child while you are in training or in case you are ever deployed. In this plan, you can list whoever you choose to take care of your child while you are in training.

Now you have to ensure that you don't currently have a parenting plan in place with the child's father. If you do have a court ordered plan, then you have to abide by it. But if the father is not in the picture, you can designate your mother as the child's care giver while you are in training.
