Laws vary from state to state, please check with a local organization to verify details of the law in Florida. Termination of parental rights is a procedure which the state undertakes in order to prepare a child for adoption by a new parent. It is not a legal process which a parent can initiate, except in the case of "second parent adoption" File a voluntary Termination Of Parental Rights (TPR) in the appropriate state court (usually probate) in the county in which the child lives. Contacting the office of the clerk of that court will provide specific information. The judge decides whether or not rights will be terminated and if so to what extent. TPR petitions are not a legal instrument to be used as a means for a parent(s) to escape their financial obligations to a child.
