You may petition the court in the county of jurisdiction with your request. Consult an attorney or the clerk of the court for the appropriate forms. Be prepared to provide acceptable reasons and appropriate documentation why your parental rights should be terminated.

Also, you should be aware that termination of parental rights does not terminate your obligation to pay child support. All it will do is strip you of your right to see your child or have any decision making power in their lives.

Will an obligated parent still be responsible for back child support if they voluntarily relinquish their parental rights and the custodial parent agrees to waive the arrearages?

Assuming that the support was paid to the custodial parent and was not through the state's division of child enforcement then the court might waive the debt. Generally a voluntary relinquishment of parental rights is granted to allow the child/children to be eligible for adoption. A TPR is not meant to be a legal venue for a parent to be relieved of the financial obligation to their minor children.

Is the non custodian parent allowed to refuse the child to be changed the surname to the stepfather?

This is based on prevailing law in the United States. If you live elsewhere, you should so indicate. Yes, they may refuse if the non-custodial parent did not relinquish their parental rights either voluntarily or involuntarily in preparation for adoption or otherwise give their permission as a matter of court record. If the stepfather is legally adopting the child (which could only happen with consent of the non-custodial parent and only if parental rights were terminated), then the right to change the child's surname is given.

Can a Michigan father voluntarily relinquish parental rights if the mother agrees with his choice to do so?

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.


Is losing custody the same as terminating rights?

Not at all. Terminating parental rights is a court process by which you either voluntarily relinquish your parental rights or there is serious danger posed to your child such that the court does it without your consent. Either way, when parental rights are terminated, the parent has no more rights to the child. Losing custody can be a temporary thing and does not change your parental status.
