How does a father relinquish rights in MN?
If you truly mean rights (such as visitation), you can just walk away. However, In Indiana, a father cannot "relinquish" parental obligations such as support unilaterally. This is true unless something else happens such as the mother remarries and her new husband legally adots the child or the child becomes legally emancipated. Otherwise, you sre stuck, so to speak, with the obligations of a father until the child is an adult. Interesting to note that the woman can relinquish her obligations to a child before (abortion) or after birth (adoption) but that in no state does the father have any post-conception decisions.

Creating an Affidavit to Relinquish Parental Rights?
One of the most emotional issues in family law is when a parent wants to relinquish his or her rights to a child. It can be devastating to see a child that is attached to his or her parent, watch as that parent then abandons the child. If a parent feels that it is in his or her best interest to relinquish rights to a child, then that parent will need to meet with a good family law attorney to conduct the legal process for relinquishing such rights. A good family law attorney will help a person decide if this is truly what he or she wants to do. Sometimes, parents have no choice but to relinquish these rights. Maybe a parent is a severe drug addict or alcoholic, and he or she can simply no longer take care of a child. This is one of the most devastating situations that a family law attorney has to deal with. Or, maybe a parent is severely abusive and hurts his or her children. This is another case in which a parent will need to legally relinquish to rights to his or her children. Sometimes, there are court orders that a parent must follow to relinquish such rights. If a parent wants to voluntarily relinquish parental rights, then this can be a much more difficult situation. A court will likely investigate the reasons a parent wants to relinquish his or her rights to a child. If a court finds no good reason exists, then a court may refuse to enforce such an affidavit. However, if a parent wants to relinquish rights to another set of parents, then a court may ultimately find that this is in the best interest of the child. Often, there are parents who wish to adopt a new child, so one family will relinquish the rights to that child so another family can adopt him or her. Courts will usually approve this sort of situation. It is important for an attorney to do a thorough investigation of any case in which a parent wants to relinquish the rights to his or her children. There may be signs of abuse for a parent wanting to relinquish such rights. Or, a parent may be an alcoholic or drug addict and simply unable to cope with caring for his or her children anymore. It is truly important for a family law attorney to investigate these situations.

If temporary divorce orders were drawn up with the father paying court-ordered child support is he obligated to pay child support if he signs over parental rights before final court?
The father cannot relinquish his parental rights until the divorce decree has been finalized. When that is done, he can file a TPR suit it may or may not be granted and he may or may not be relieved of his financial obligation. Relinquishment of parental rights is generally granted to allow the minor child to become eligible for adoption by the new spouse of the custodial parent, not so the non custodial parent can escape his or her financial obligations.
