Under certain circumstances parental rights can be terminated in Mississippi. This is usually initiated by the state in due to abuse, neglect, or abandonment of the minor child. The termination of parental rights stops a biological parent from visiting or having any kind of legal say so in effect to the minor child.

You can voluntarily relinquish parental rights but you must be able to provide compelling reasons why it should be done if the child isn't being adopted by another person capable of providing financial support. Also, giving up your rights does not remove your responsibility to pay child support.

The courts may also involuntarily terminate parental rights under certain (and dire) circumstances.
