Whoever gives them to sign will more than likely be charged with some sort of jail time. But the parent has to report it first.

Can a father relinquish his parental rights to an 11-year-old child who he just found out about?

yes the same way you sign over the rights when a child is born it's the same way years later you can still sign over your rights just as long as the mother is in consent and everyone is in agreement you can surely do that. * If the father was never aware of the child's existence then he has not established parentage and cannot relinquish rights that he does not have. If the issue is child support, the biological mother or legal custodian of the child must file a lawsuit for child support. Child support will not be addressed until parentage is established. If the male is found to be the father,arrearages will not be allowed if he can prove did not have knowledge of the child until the current time. After parentage has been established the court may or may not accept a request for the voluntary termination of parental rights from a biological parent.


Can i sign my rights over if my ex's mother has permanent custody?

If your state allows for it, yes you can file a motion for termination of parental rights. In some states, TPR is done at the discretion of the state only and there is no provision for voluntary relinquishment. You should be aware, however, then terminating your rights does not terminate your child support obligation. All it will do is cease your rights to see your child or have any further say-so in his/her life.
