When a child goes to live with the other parent can the noncustodial parent relinquish parental rights?

Answer 1

Depending on where you live, it's possible (although probably unlikely) that a judge will allow you give up your parental rights without the consent of the custodial parent. You will still have to pay child support though.

Answer 2

Yes they can. If the parent that does not have current custody of the child then they can choose weather to see their child or not. It's something like a restraining order but stronger. It means that whatever that parent does, If they can not get the custodial parent to agree, then he/she can not take care, see, or make contact with the child. Once the decision is made, it stays until both parents agree to release it.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

Yes, if they so desire. Whether or not it's a good idea may be open to debate.
