If a parent AGREES to give up their rights, no attorney is needed, but a written agreement made, and signed with a WITNESS, that way it can't come back to haunt either party

Parental rights and parental duties are not the same thing. If you terminate your parental rights you may no longer visit the child or contact him.

Parental Rights -What's entailed in giving up your parental rights?

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. 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.

Can you reverse the termination of parental rights in Nevada?

YES, you can reverse your decision if it is a voluntary termination of parental rights (as in, you chose to terminate your own rights), IF AND ONLY IF, there has been no court hearing in which that decision was finalized. There is a limbo period of time in which the termination is not "official." This is a usually a few months, but can be shorter or longer, depending on the other party's counsel and the courts. You need to act quickly! Notify the attorney in writing and also verbally that you revoke your decision to terminate your parental rights. Hire an attorney to do this, so that your attorney can verify that your revocation was received by the opposing party. If your parental rights have been terminated by an opposing party due to negative evidence against you (this is called an involunatary termination, a whole different ballgame), you can still try an appeal. There are a few grounds in which you can have the decision reversed. As always, getting a good attorney and having all your information and evidence in order is a must.
