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.

You would petition the court in the county where the child resides. You should be aware however, that under Illinois law, terminating parental rights does not terminate obligation to pay child support unless the termination is in preparation for the child's adoption. That is a separate issue and must be pursued separately. If the father is indigent or has no assets, such an order may be granted without prejudice (meaning the court reserves the right to revisit the father's circumstances at any time and make any support modifications based on any changes).

The only thing terminating your parental rights will accomplish is the right to visit your child or have any decision making power in their lives.

By petitioning the family court in your county of residence including sufficient documentation and reasons why a parent's rights should be terminated.

Contact the court in charge of family issues in your county or an attorney for more information.

You cannot voluntarily rescind your rights without another "father" in the wings as in the case of an adoption of DCFS/ the State taking custody.
