Can you sign your parental right to your child grandmother?
Only a court can terminate your parental rights. If you mean custody, the grandmother can file a petition for custody in the county of jurisdiction (where the child legally resides). Both parents' permission will be required for any change in or modification to custody. If that is secured, a hearing will be held, an investigation by social services conducted and if the judge finds it would be in the child's best interests to be placed with the grandmother, it would be so ruled. Since you didn't include your location, I cannot tell you whether your location allows for voluntary or involuntary termination of parental rights and under what conditions this may take place, but generally, this is only done if the child is being placed for adoption and the adoption has been legally approved, or in certain dire and extreme circumstances. In either case, terminating your parental rights does not terminate your obligation to pay child support up to the time the child is legally adopted.
