Terminate a child means to give up your rights to this child.
Why do you think it necessary if he hasn't?
Termination of parental rights does not terminate one's child support obligation.
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. However, in many states, including Oklahoma, you may still have an obligation to pay support. This can vary by individual circumstances, so it's best to check with and attorney.

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.
A court can terminate parental rights but that would not necessarily terminate the parents responsibility to support the child.
I suggest you consult with the other parent and an attorney on this. However, keep in mind that terminating parental rights does not terminate one's support obligation.
She can terminate her parental rights, not yours.
Termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.
Parents can go through the courts to terminate their parental rights to an out of control teen. You will have to have the child declared wayward in order to do this.
No there is not. In Arizona a parent may only terminate their rights voluntarily in preparation for an adoption. In other cases, the courts may terminate rights involuntarily in certain and dire circumstances. Both scenarios are after the birth of the child, not before. Until an adoption is legalized or if adoption isn't going to happen, the parent's obligation to support their child does not end with the termination of their rights. All that does is terminate the parent's right to see their child and have any say-so in their lives.
