My x-husband did a voluntary termination of rights - I contacted my attorney and started from there. Papers were filled with the courts, once the judge signed off on that and I received everything back I filled out the necessary paper work for Birth certificate -name change- then did the social security card. We live in Louisiana. Hope this helps.
I suggest you consult with the other parent and an attorney on this. However, keep in mind that terminating parental rights does not terminate one's support obligation.
In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.

You may attempt to contact the biological father to request he give up his parental rights. If he is willing to do this, any family law attorney can process the paperwork. If you are unable to contact the father, you can petition the courts to terminate his rights as an absentee. Again, a competent family law attorney can process this for you.

Generally there must be another adult who is willing to take over your legal responsibilities and financial obligations as the child's parent.

The father can petition the court to terminate parental rights and if he can provide compelling reason why such a petition should be granted, yes it could happen. However termination of parental rights does not terminate child support obligations, only your right to visit your child or have any decision making input in their lives. Child support generally can only be terminated if the child is placed for a legal adoption with an adult willing and able to assume financial responsibility for them.
