How do you relinquish parental rights of 17 year old?

Answer 1

File a voluntary relinquishment of parental obligations in the state court of venue. Each state has set TPR requirements that must be met, if the judge believes such action is in the best interest of the child/children ALL parental rights will be terminated.

Answer 2

File a voluntary Termination of Parental rights in the appropriate court (usually circuit or superior) in the city or county of residence. TPR request are granted on what the judge feels is in the child's best interest and not the preference of either parent or any other party. Generally TPR is granted so the child/children can become eligible for adoption, it is not a means for the petitioning parent to be relieved of their financial obligations. FYI, parent(s) who have child support arrearages and file a TPR, will find themselves in an extremely unpleasant situation.

Answer 3

I am not sure that you can. I think that by the age of thirteen or fourteen they have the right to say who they live with as long as they are living with an adult. I am not positive. Friends of ours got custody of their grandson, but when he turned 14 he decided to go back and live with his mother even though she could not provide for him very well.

Answer 4

You may petition the court in the county of jurisdiction (where the child legally resides) with compelling reasons why your parental rights should be terminated. It should be noted that terminating parental rights does not terminate child support obligations unless the child is being adopted. All it does is terminate the parent's right to see their child as well as terminate their right to have any decision making power in the child's life.

Answer 5

You cannot relinquish parental rights because you want to or feel like it in all 50 states unless the child is being placed for adoption or someone is otherwise assuming legal guardianship. Then, it would be part of the court procedure and you would be required to sign the appropriate forms and may be called to court to verify their veracity.

There are select (and dire) circumstances where parental rights may be involuntarily terminated by the court.

Consult an attorney in your area who specializes in family law for more information.

Answer 6

In all 50 states, you cannot relinquish parental rights "just because" unless a child is being placed for adoption. Otherwise, there would be an influx of people trying to get out of paying child support or meeting other parental obligations by signing over their rights.

Under certain (and dire) circumstances, parental rights may be involuntarily terminated by the court.

Answer 7

The laws on relinquishing your parental rights vary from state to state.
