No. To voluntarily relinquish parental rights in the US, you must be able to give a 'good cause' reason for it. One good reason would be in preparation for the child to be adopted. Trying to avoid responsibilities such as paying child support is not a good reason, the application would be dismissed.

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, but it is up to the court and they usually only allow it if there is an adoptive father waiting. Sounds like you didn't adopt for the right reasons.

Can you voluntarily terminate your parental rights in Ohio?

Ohio has laws that allow the a parent to file a Termination of Parental Rights petition. Whether that petition is granted and to what extent is decided by the court based on the individual case circumstances. The voluntary relinquishment of parental rights is generally granted to allow a child/children to be a candidate for adoption. The court will not grant a TPR when its sole purpose is for a parent to escape financial obligations to their minor children.


In the state of Ohio if a non-custodial parent gives up all parental rights to his children does he still have to pay child support?

You'll have to find someone to take over the fiancial responsibility. Assuming that paternity has been established for the children, a judge will allow a parent to voluntarily relinquish parental rights for the expressed purpose of being relieved of the financial obligation. In some cases the father may have the option of appealing a support order if he requests that confirmation of paternity be establised. However, a support order that is in affect will continue to be so until such time a court rules otherwise. Generally, voluntary relinquishment of parental rights is only granted when the child or children are eligible to be adopted by a new spouse or both parents have agreed to the action for the purpose of adoption.
