How do I relinquish my parental rights as a father. My ex-wife has full custody and will not allow me near her or my child.

First, unless your post is specifically related to the thread, its better to start a new thread rather than piggy backing on someone else's. I'm requesting your note be moved to its own thread.

Second, relinquishing your rights is not going to do much. It will not relieve you of financial responsibility. Generally relinquishing rights occurs when there is an issue of adoption. Right now you have no rights according to you. Formally relinquishing your rights (if allowed) will not change anything in your situation. The only thing it might do, is prevent any chance of a relationship with your child.

Third, I detect a note of bitterness in your post. It sounds like you have tried to see the child but have been rebuffed so you just want to give up. My questions to you are;
1) Was any visitation granted or requested as part of the divorce agreement?
2) If requested but denied, why?
3) What reason does the ex give for not allowing you visitation?
4) Do you want to be part of your child's life?

First you should make sure there is visitation set up. Because in that case She can not keep you from seeing your child. Look back at your divorce decree it should state it in there
