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.
