Yes, you can relinquish your parental rights, however, if you are doing so to avoid payment of child support, most courts will not approve the relinquishment. Ultimately, the court will still have to say that it is in the best interest of the child. That normally will not be done unless there is someone willing and able to adopt in your place.

∙ 16y agoRelinquishing parental rights normally involves a judical process and can not be simply decided by two parents on their own. The reason is that both parents have an obligation to support their minor child. Public policy dictates that for the protection of the child relinquishment of rights can not be a private matter. It is fairly common for biological parents, most often fathers, to give up rights in a child through an adoption, i.e. mom was a single mother, now married to a man willing to assume the legal obligations of fatherhood for her children. The best answer to your question is that it and its self attempting to give up parental rights is not illegal and should not land you in jail. Failing to support child support may have serious legal ramifications, incluidng going to jail on a contempt citation if that what it takes to get the parent to pay arrearages in support.

Do you have to pay child support if the mother excludes your rights?
First, without a court order, the mother cannot prohibit the father from seeing the child. If he has not voluntarily given up his rights to the child, and a judge has not created a custody schedule, the father has as much right to see the child as the mother.Second, if the father does voluntarily give up his parenting rights, or a judge does involuntarily remove his parenting rights (or awards full custody to the mother), the father would still owe child support until his child reaches the age of majority and has graduated high school.
