A petition is made to the family court and a hearing is held. Parent(s) can relinquish their rights so the child can be adopted or made a ward of the state. But unless the child is adopted the parent(s) will not be relieved of their financial obligation. Even if the child is in foster care, the state has enforcable laws to make the parent(s) pay child support. What if both the parents agree to the father giving up his rights. They were never married and his has not ever given anything monetary or even seen the child personally for 5 years. The mother has been raising the child herself. A form was written up by both parents and notarized for the father to give up his rights. What would be the next step to make this complete and is this possible since the mother does not seek any child support from him for the raising of the child.

That depends on a lot of factors including why rights were terminated, if the termination was voluntary or involuntary, the length of time that has passed since rights were terminated, the nature of the changes that have occurred since rights were terminated and if the child has been adopted in the interim. You really need the advice of an attorney specializing in family law in your state of residence for more specific information regarding whether or not you would have a valid and viable case.

In KY if your parental rights were terminated four years ago against your wishes All of a sudden you have been petitioned to appear in court to pay child support can the courts do this?

Even if your parental rights have been terminated, your obligations do not necessarily end at the same time. The state of Kentucky can compel you to pay child support, even though you are not allowed to visit your child. Many times a good family court lawyer can help you with such a situation, especially if you want to regain your parental rights.

The issue isn't how long they've been in custody. Once the parental rights have been terminated (TPR - termination of parental rights), the child is eligible for adoption. If the children have not been TPR'd then they are not eligible for adoption.
