No. There is no requirement for the child to have to "know" the father for him to give up his parental rights.

I know of no jurisdiction where giving up parental rights terminates one's child support obligation. However, if the child is eventually adopted, the biological parents' support obligation typically ends.


If a parent chooses NOT to have any contact with their biological child for over a year can their parental rights be terminated?

If your parental rights were terminated and your child was legally adopted your chances are slim that any court will reverse that order. Think of your child. If the child was adopted and has adapted to a new family it would be extremely disruptive to remove the child from that home. There must have been extreme circumstances for the court to terminate your parental rights in the first place. Your problems and instability should not continue to affect the child. You should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options, if any, or your lack of rights to be involved in your child's life.

How likely is it for parental rights to be terminated if the said parent has been charged with aggravated child abuse?

Don't know what "parental rights" you are referring to. If they include un-supervised stays, or visits, by the child(ren) - they could now be limted to a visitation period supervised by your state Dept of Family Services (or whatever they call it in your state). But the likliehood is that you won't be forbidden to see your child(ren).


Signing over your rights?

What do you want to know about it and where do you live? In the USA, procedure varies from location to location, and in some states, you cannot voluntarily terminate your parental rights. Only the state may do that and only under the most extreme and dire conditions. In all states, terminating parental rights does not terminate child support obligations unless and until the child is legally adopted by another third party.

Don't know what TPR is suppose to mean, however it should be noted that this does not stop child support. see links below "TPR" signifies Termination of Parental Rights. Which can, in some cases be done by a biological or adopter parent voluntarily or by the court mandatorily.


If your child's father did not know he's the father for ten years and then finds out he is can he get custody of your child?

In theory, yes, but unless the mother's parental rights are terminated (e.g., for neglect or abuse) this is so unlikely that it's not worth worrying about.


Can a Father in Texas legally give up his rights to the child?

Yes, but that does not relinquish the obligation to pay child support. All it does is relinquish your right to see your child and have any type of decision making power in their lives. If the child is placed for adoption or your ex marries and their spouse adopts you child, your support obligation will end.
