    Removal of guardianship rights
    Fathers who have been appointed joint guardians by a court or by statutory declaration can be removed from their position if the court is satisfied it is in the child's best interest. The only way a mother can give up her guardianship rights in Ireland, is if the child is placed for adoption.

    Removal of guardianship rights

    A father who has been appointed a joint guardian by a court or by statutory
    declaration can have his joint guardianship rights removed by court order if
    the court is satisfied that this is in the best interest of the child. The only way a mother can give up her guardianship rights is by placing her child for adoption.

    I presume that the father is not married as it is not possible to remove guardianship rights from a married father.

    Once the marriage took place before the child was born.
