How does a father relinquish parental rights in Oklahoma?

Answer 1

you don't.

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 2

Oklahoma law has no provision for voluntarily terminating parental rights with the exception of adoption. Otherwise, the only way a parent may have their rights terminated is involuntarily, either initiated by the district attorney or social services agency in the child's county of residence.

Answer 3

Guardians do not relinquish parental rights. Courts terminate parental rights when a guardian is appointed. The guardian must file a petition with the probate and family court to be appointed the child's guardian.

Answer 4

• Termination of perental rights differ among the States, but generally all States recognize voluntary and involuntary. Involuntary is easier if the father shows neglect that causes severe physical or emotional harm to the child. The court is there to look for alternatives or to agree or disagree with you to determine the outcome of your request. You can get the forms in the State court where the child resides.
