How do you give up your rights for a child

Pay attention to the boards. The sticky on this one says to post legal questions on the family law board. If you'd paid attention you'd have gone there and seen this same question asked a bunch of times. And the same answer over and over again. You can't give up your rights. Except in some cases if the child is being adopted. But in general, you can't. Even if you don't see or call them you're still obligated to support your children.

I've moved your thread because, as justcurious pointed out, you posted it in the wrong place by ignoring posting instructions.

It might also help if you gave more details about your situation. But brwosing through the Family Law forum would give you lots of information.

Bottomline is you can't "give up" your rights. Only a court can terminate your rights and they rarely do so.
