You can't terminate your obligation to support your child. That type of order must be decided by a court and only when the child is being legally adopted such that another parent will be responsible for the support of the child.

How can you terminate the father's parental rights?
Laws vary from state to state, please check with a local organization to verify details of the law in Florida. Termination of parental rights is a procedure which the state undertakes in order to prepare a child for adoption by a new parent. It is not a legal process which a parent can initiate, except in the case of "second parent adoption" File a voluntary Termination Of Parental Rights (TPR) in the appropriate state court (usually probate) in the county in which the child lives. Contacting the office of the clerk of that court will provide specific information. The judge decides whether or not rights will be terminated and if so to what extent. TPR petitions are not a legal instrument to be used as a means for a parent(s) to escape their financial obligations to a child.

How can you terminate a fathers parental rights voluntarly?

Can you reverse the termination of parental rights in Nevada?
YES, you can reverse your decision if it is a voluntary termination of parental rights (as in, you chose to terminate your own rights), IF AND ONLY IF, there has been no court hearing in which that decision was finalized. There is a limbo period of time in which the termination is not "official." This is a usually a few months, but can be shorter or longer, depending on the other party's counsel and the courts. You need to act quickly! Notify the attorney in writing and also verbally that you revoke your decision to terminate your parental rights. Hire an attorney to do this, so that your attorney can verify that your revocation was received by the opposing party. If your parental rights have been terminated by an opposing party due to negative evidence against you (this is called an involunatary termination, a whole different ballgame), you can still try an appeal. There are a few grounds in which you can have the decision reversed. As always, getting a good attorney and having all your information and evidence in order is a must.
Can father relinquish parental rights AZ?
Yes. Such an action must be filed in the court of jurisdiction (where the child legally resides). However termination of parental rights does not automatically terminate child support obligations. This usually happens only if the child is being adopted. All that termination of rights will accomplish is ending the right to see their child or have any say-so in their lives.
Does grandparent have right to stop son from relinquishing his parental rights?
No. While some states do have grandparents' rights with respect to visitation of their grandchildren, they have NO ability to affect their own children's exercising of their parental rights. So, in this question, only the son has the legal ability to relinquish his own parental rights, and cannot be stopped from relinquishing those rights by his own parents (the grandparents). This presumes the son hasn't been declared mentally incompetent, and there isn't some court-ordered guardianship of the son.
Your husband left parental rights to his Mom in his will what does this mean for you the Mother?
The terminology might be different in your state as opposed to here in New Jersey but this might, repeat, might answer your question. You must look into the laws of the state of probate and of your own if they are not one and the same. In New Jersey a decedent may appoint a "testamentary guardian", who would obviously assume the usual parental rights over the minor. The catch is that no such appointment is effective if the other parent is alive unless the surviving parent consents in writing to the appointed testamentary guardian taking over. It might be the same regarding the "parental rights" you mention. I cannot imagine any state allowing one parent to deprive the other of parental rights, merely by saying so in the will.
Can the unwed incarcerated father assign his custody rights to his child to his mother?

How can one parent sign over complete custody to the other parent if he doesn't want anything to do with them and not pay child support?
Technically, at least in IN, a parent can sign an agreement stating that they terminate their parental rights and that child support is also terminated. However, they can always petition the Court to reinstate their rights and/or the other party can always request child support - even if there was a signed agreement. The only way that parental rights can totally be given up is if a parent signs over their rights so a step-parent or other family member can adopt the child. The parent must agree to this, or is not required to agree if the child is 18 and wants to be adopted by their step-parent. see related link
How do you go about having the babys father sign over his parental rights?
IF Months go by, and you havn't heard anything from the father, they really seem more interested in YOU then your child, don't call or anything on birthdays or Holidays, and personally won't claim the child... its all a mind game,they can't afford child support, and we find ourselves kicking oursleves in the "bum" wondering "Why him as the sperm donor?" If he won't sign over rights, then make sure that he understands that you want NOTHING from him. NOT A DOLLAR. I even told my daughters father that we "just don't and ever did exist anymore." When they are really worried about their paychecks instead of their KIDS its easy.... they sign so fast. SO MAKE IT CLEAR..... when the papers are signed, you have the right to change their name (birth certificate),and they are to NEVER contact you in any way. Unless hes a real loser, it isn't an easy thing for men to do. They have alot of pride, and some do get attached to their children. (If the moms lucky)
