File a Termination of Parental Rights petition in the appropriate state court in the city or county of residence. The court decides all such issues based on what is in the best interest of the child/children and not on the preference of parents or other interested parties. Generally TPR's are granted to allow a child to be eligible for adoption. The purpose of a TPR is not to allow a parent to escape their obligations to the minor children who are the unfortunate victims of irresponsible parents.
