The parent would need to file a petition for the voluntary termination of parental rights (TPR) in the state court that has jurisdiction. After filing the petition a hearing date would be set and the judge would listen to the reasons for the request and allow any interested party to contest the action. TPR's are generally granted so that the child/children can become eligible for adoption, not for a parent to escape their financial obligations to their minor children.
You can get papers to sign over the rights of children at the Children Welfare Department. The papers can also be obtained from non governmental organizations that deal with the children's rights like the UNCRC and UNESCO.
Contact a local marriage/divorce lawyer office he/she will be able to guide you in the right direction for your particular area.
It depends on which state you are in and under what circumstances you are signing your parental over for. In some states, you cannot sign over your parental rights unless the other parent is remarried and the step-parent is willing to adopt the child.
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.
I'm not a lawyer or anything near it, but to the best of my knowledge the parent who is retaining their rights can request that the parent relinquishing theirs still be held financially obligated. I've also heard that in the case that the request is not made, the parent relinquishing their rights is still responsible for any arrears owed.
No. It depends on when the TPR became final. If the child resided with the parent or a parent for the entire tax year then they may still claim said child as a dependent.
He's not required to give up his parental rights unless the court has found him to be an unfit parent. You might point out to him that he most likely will not have to pay support for the child ever again.
If you are referring to parental rights - there is NO way that you can legally abandon your rights OR your responsibilitiesas a parent.
No, it have to go through the court.
This typically happens as a result of a trial that determines the parent to be unfit, or as part of an adoption.
