This includes a parent who has been incarcerated, in rehabilitation, on probation, under investigation by child protective services, etc. Even when there is an absentee parent authorities must use all means available to locate said person before a TPR can be granted or permanently ordered by the court.
If you're in the US, then no. Termination of parental rights (which is a different thing than custodial rights) has to be approved by a judge, and generally speaking, unless it is for the purpose of adoption (where someone else is willing to assume those parental responsibilities), it is not approved.
Not take but they can petition for custody in court. Unless the parent is unfit the most they will get is probably shared custody though.
Relinquishing parental rights does not terminate one's child support obligation. But if you're the one petitioning this, the court is going to question why you would want to retain it while cutting off his access to the child?
If "taken away" means the the court permanently terminated parental rights or parental rights were voluntarily relinquished making the child eligible for adoption, then the answer is no; the biological parent(s) have no legal rights of any sort to the child. However, if the adoptive parents can voluntarily agree to the visitation of a biological parent without there being any action on the part of the court.
File suit to have the support order rescinded. However, child support and parental rights are two entirely different issues and a parent cannot be forced to relinquish his or her rights to their biological child. Voluntarily requesting child support termination does not affect the non custodial parent's custodial or visitation rights. The court will only terminate parental rights in cases of documented neglect and/or abuse, and sometimes not even then. In some instances rather than terminating rights supervised visitation will be ordered.
YES ,BOTH PARENT'S HAVE TO SIGN OVER THEIR PARENTAL RIGHT'S( YOU CAN GET THE FORM @ THE LAW LIBRABRY IN THE COURT HOUSE ) STATE REASON FOR RESIGNING RIGHT'S IS SO THAT THE CHILD CAN BE ADOPTED. TO FILE THE PAPER WORK WOULD BE APPROX.. $200.00 DEPENDING ON YOUR LOCAL COURT HOUSE.
IF Months go by, and you havn't heard anything from the father, they really seem more interested in YOU then your child, don't call or anything on birthdays or Holidays, and personally won't claim the child... its all a mind game,they can't afford child support, and we find ourselves kicking oursleves in the "bum" wondering "Why him as the sperm donor?" If he won't sign over rights, then make sure that he understands that you want NOTHING from him. NOT A DOLLAR. I even told my daughters father that we "just don't and ever did exist anymore." When they are really worried about their paychecks instead of their KIDS its easy.... they sign so fast. SO MAKE IT CLEAR..... when the papers are signed, you have the right to change their name (birth certificate),and they are to NEVER contact you in any way. Unless hes a real loser, it isn't an easy thing for men to do. They have alot of pride, and some do get attached to their children. (If the moms lucky)
How do I sign over my parental rights without going to court?
No, only guardianship.
A court order is required to terminate parental rights. 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.
Yes

By going to court and fight for it. But, you really want to have a good lawyer.

No you don't. No court or legal process requires a lawyer, it is however a good ideal - more so if you don't understand what is going on.
If you're in the US, the age is 18.
If you relinquish your parental rights, you are still not going to get child support payments. The child support is for the child.
Be 18 years old. Then the teenager can get married without parental consent. In some states, you may be able to get a court order, but that isn't going to be easy!
You can almost bet they are still responsible for support. There are two different court rulings going on in this situation and one does not cancel out the other.
