Ohio has laws that allow the a parent to file a Termination of Parental Rights petition. Whether that petition is granted and to what extent is decided by the court based on the individual case circumstances. The voluntary relinquishment of parental rights is generally granted to allow a child/children to be a candidate for adoption. The court will not grant a TPR when its sole purpose is for a parent to escape financial obligations to their minor children.

How can a father relinquish his parental rights in Ohio?
No. To voluntarily relinquish parental rights in the US, you must be able to give a 'good cause' reason for it. One good reason would be in preparation for the child to be adopted. Trying to avoid responsibilities such as paying child support is not a good reason, the application would be dismissed.
If the child's father has never had contact but pays support how can the mother end all his parental rights if she no longer needs the support?
My understanding (in the State of Ohio) is that Ohio counts support payments as "contact"; thus, even if the non-custodial parent never showed up (in my case for nearly 6 years) the State of Ohio says "well he's been paying support so we count that just like him having continual weekly contact with the child". I feel this is total BS but what can I do, besides move out of state (incidently, my ex not seeing my child gives me a great advantage to move out of state, however - so i'd be better off moving than staying here. go fig) It's doubtful the court will terminate his parental rights if he's providing financial support (even if he hasn't maintained contact with the child). However, you can contact him and see if he'd be willing to voluntarily terminate his parental rights, in which case the court might agree to allow that. And, he may be willing to do that because that means that he will no longer have to pay child support.

In the state of Ohio if a non-custodial parent gives up all parental rights to his children does he still have to pay child support?
You'll have to find someone to take over the fiancial responsibility. Assuming that paternity has been established for the children, a judge will allow a parent to voluntarily relinquish parental rights for the expressed purpose of being relieved of the financial obligation. In some cases the father may have the option of appealing a support order if he requests that confirmation of paternity be establised. However, a support order that is in affect will continue to be so until such time a court rules otherwise. Generally, voluntary relinquishment of parental rights is only granted when the child or children are eligible to be adopted by a new spouse or both parents have agreed to the action for the purpose of adoption.
