Sure, just contact a lawyer or go into your local city hall. Make sure the child have someone to take care of it if you don't want to. Contact a counselor if it is too difficult to do.

I suggest you consult with the other parent and an attorney on this. However, keep in mind that terminating parental rights does not terminate one's support obligation.

In the state of New Jersey if you give up rights to your child do you still have to pay child support?

In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support. You need to consult with an attorney or legal advocate in your jurisdiction. Note that you cannot simply give up parental rights in order to avoid child support. Generally there must be another adult who is willing to take over your legal responsibilities and financial obligations as the child's parent.

Your husband left parental rights to his Mom in his will what does this mean for you the Mother?

The terminology might be different in your state as opposed to here in New Jersey but this might, repeat, might answer your question. You must look into the laws of the state of probate and of your own if they are not one and the same. In New Jersey a decedent may appoint a "testamentary guardian", who would obviously assume the usual parental rights over the minor. The catch is that no such appointment is effective if the other parent is alive unless the surviving parent consents in writing to the appointed testamentary guardian taking over. It might be the same regarding the "parental rights" you mention. I cannot imagine any state allowing one parent to deprive the other of parental rights, merely by saying so in the will.

Does a parent have to be married in order for other parent to sign parental rights over?

Don't know if I'm right on this but it seems like you have things a bit mixed up so I will give several answers:- If you want to give up your parental rights the other parent does not have to be married for you to do so. Both parents have parental rights so you can't sign those over the already biological parent. If they have been removed by the court or he/she have given them up, it's up to the court to decide if they can get it back. You cannot give them your parental rights.- If you are giving up your parental rights so the new partner of your ex can adopt, it depends on the law of that state if boyfriend/girlfriend is allowed to adopt or not when unmarried. They will be evaluated and the court finally decides.- If you mean signing custody over to your ex, no he/she does not have to be married and can openly live with their new boyfriend/girlfriend.

How do you give up parental rights and no longer have financial responsability for the child in England?

Giving up your parental rights does not absolve you of paying child support. Parental rights has to do with custody and the right to make decisions in raising the child. Child support is providing material support for a child you sired to make sure he has what he needs to live. All states allow a parent to file for the termination of parental rights (TPR petition). The presiding judge makes the decision as to what extent those rights should be terminated including the cessation of financial obligations. The ending of parental financial obligations are generally allowed only when mitgating circumstances are present, such as the parental rights being terminated so the child/children become eligible for adoption.
