Can you file a petition to have a father sign his rights away in Illinois without a lawyer?
The voluntary relinquishment of parental rights can be done Pro Se, although it is advisable to obtain advice from qualified legal counsel. Contacting the clerk or administrator of the state family or circuit court in the city or county of residence can provide specific information. FYI, in the state of Illinois voluntary relinquishment of parental rights does not necessarily relieve the petitioning parent of financial obligations, unless the act is being taken to allow the child/children to be eligible for adoption.
How does the father who has never seen the child and is paying child support give up his parental rights?
He can give up paternal rights, but he will still have to pay child support. * File a voluntary relinquishment of parental rights petition in the appropriate state court in the county of residence. The judge will decide if the TPR is to be granted and if so to what extent. If the judge feels it is in the best interest of the child for the father to be removed from his or her life then child support obligations can also be terminated.
Can a father be forced to sign over parental rights if there are no court documents naming him the father?
The first thing you need to do is get a paternity test preferably a DNA. Even if you are positive, the court will want solid proof. Family Court is concerned with what is in the best interest of the child. And doesn't view him/her as a possession that can be "given" to anyone. The first thing you have to do is establish paternity. But you can't "make" the father sign over his parental rights. He has the right to be a part of the child's life (unless the court deems him unfit, and even then he would likely have the right to supervised visits with the child) just as he has the obligation to financially support the child. If the father does want to terminate his parental rights and you agree to that, then you also give up the right to pursue him for child support.

Voluntary termination of parental rights in Texas?
If a male is named as the father of a child when the couple are not married he cannot request the relinquishment of parental rights until paternity has been established. If the paternity test shows he is not the biological father, he can file suit in family court to be relieved of this financial and parental obligations. The same basic premise applies in the case of married couples with the exception that, the male is assumed to be the father unless only he contests the fact and he must be legally separated or divorced from the biological mother at the time of contestation.
