How do you find information on making a father relinquish his rights and when a father relinquishes his parental rights is he still obligated to pay court-ordered child support?
Consult the laws in the state in which you reside that pertain to parental responsibility. Each state has specific TPR guidelines that a parent must meet before they are allowed to voluntarily reliquish parental rights. Even if the criteria is met the final decision is determined by the presiding judge. If the person is allowed to relinquish their parental rights, they are no longer responsible to financially support the child/children. They also have no rights of visitation, decision making or anything that might relate to the child or children. In addition, a parent cannot be forced to give up their rights to their biological child/children. It is either a voluntary action or the court permanently terminates parental rights due to neglect and/or abuse of the minor child or children. *That is not always true. Each state is different and a lot of states require the parent that is relinquishing rights to continue to pay child support unless the child is being adopted. If it was that easy every dead beat parent would try to relinquish their rights just so they didn't have to pay
How do I get a form to sign over my rights?

How can a mother have the biological father give up his parental rights in Il?
The mother can't, but the father can, either voluntarily by filling out the necessary forms and filing them in the court with jurisdiction. A hearing will be held at which time it would be determined whether or not such a termination would be in the child's best interests to allow or deny the petition. The state may initiate an involuntary termination of parental rights in certain and dire circumstances in case of abuse, neglect of the child including abandonment (exact period of time is not outlined but generally failure to see and/or financially support the child for 6 months) or a felony conviction of abuse or related charges involving the child or other members of the family. In order for an involuntary termination of parental rights, the mother may petition the state to investigate based on any of the above and based on their findings, rights may be terminated. In either case, termination of parental rights does not terminate the obligation to support the child with the exceptions of adoption (custody by the bio mom does not constitute adoption) or in exceptionally rare cases, by order of the court.
Can you still adopt if you have had parental rights removed but for reasons other than child abuse?
This is something that would be dealt with on a case by case basis; start by talking to DCF (or whatever it's called in your area: department of children and families) and get information directly from them.AnswerI don't think that they will allow anyone to adopt that has had their parental rights taken away from them. Even if it was not for abuse, then it could have been for neglect.
Is there emancipation in Arizona?
