I have a character right now which is rigged using layer parenting. So, if I need to copy that character and paste it into a new file, then layer parenting is not working properly, and character body parts get dislocated. How can I resolve this?

Try to nest your rigged character inside a graphic symbol. Copy/paste that container into the new file.

It means to put your layers inside a graphic symbol.

It is considered bad practice to work on the Main Timeline. Everything should always be nested at least one level deep, often more. This allows for all kinds of quick and easy transformations of the containers.

You can nest the layers by selecting them, then right-clicking on any of them and choosing "Convert Layers to Symbol":

Then you should be able to copy/paste that symbol into your new file.
