Whether or not parental rights can be voluntarily relinquished for any reason depends upon the laws of the state in which the child was born or currently resides. A biological parent can file a petition with the court to have parental rights terminated. The parent must meet all the TPR requirements established by the laws of the state, even so, the presiding judge can dismiss the case with or w/o prejudice, or refuse to grant the decree, for several reasons. The granting of a voluntary relinquishment of parental rights generally pertains to the process of allowing the adoption of a minor child by another qualified adult,such as the other parent's new spouse.

∙ 12y agoIn 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.

∙ 12y agoNo, that won't work. Even if you give up your parental rights you still have to pay child support. If the child is left for adoption or in foster home you also still pay, until the child is adopted. There is no reason why the state would want to pay for your child just because you decide you don't want to pay.
