Child custody and visitation/parent time, etc/ are different legal terms.She cannot sign over her rights to avoid child support payments. Termination of parental rights IS a very hard deal. /notwithstanding what artlady or misshair think:eek::eek::eek:/. For example-in Commonwealth of Kentucky TPR means termination of parental obligations,too./including child support/. That is the reason TPR-voluntary or involuntary to be considered in very rare cases.
Here is the legal base:
Voluntary Termination of Parental Rights
Parental rights may be terminated voluntarily with the written consent of a parent who for good cause desires termination. Even if both parents are in agreement that parental rights should be terminated, the Court must address whether the termination is occurring for good cause. "Good cause" is not defined in the statute.
In the case entitled In re Welfare of All, 304 Minn. 254, 230 N.W.2d 574 (1975), the Minnesota Supreme Court examined the purpose and intent of the statute to determine when good cause could be found. The purpose of the statute is:

First, to enable the judicial system to legally remove a child from a destructive or unhealthy home environment without the consent of the natural parents, and,
Second, to facilitate adoption procedures by providing a means by which existing parental rights may be voluntarily terminated.
In light of these purposes, the Minnesota Courts of Appeals have consistently ruled that a voluntary termination of parental rights for reasons other than to facilitate adoption works a substantial detrimental effect on a child, who will be forced to look solely to his custodial parent to meet all of his needs. See Matter of Welfare of J.D.N. 504 N.W.2d 54, 58 (Minn.App.1993).

The effect is that District Court Judges are extremely reluctant to terminate parent's rights voluntarily and certainly not where the termination is not agreed upon by the custodial parent. It is also clear under the law that a non-custodial parent cannot claim that the termination of parental rights is being requested in order to remove the child from a destructive or unhealthy home environment, since the petitioning party is not custodial parent. The likelihood of obtaining an order terminating parental rights is also reduced if the custodial parent is provided public assistance through the county. Obviously, the county does not want to financially support children when a parent who has that obligation is available. Even a non-custodial parent's lack of contact with a child and belief that the parent could not care for a child financially may insufficient to provide "good cause" for a voluntary termination of parental rights.
It is same in all states-for example IN RE: JAMES G. AND EMMETT M. L. III-SUPREME COURT OF APPEALS OF WEST VIRGINIA

She cannot relinquish her rights.She has to pay all back,current and future child support.

Yes, she is asking for something that is just not going to happen, even if, after getting an attorney and going before the judge the judge would let her sign over her rights ( and you normally have to be remarried and have a new wife that wants to adopt) that the judge will allow rights to be signed over.

The only rights she has is the right to visit it would appear and she is not using those rights. So all she can do is visit.

She will be ordered to pay the child support
