Can a father give up his parental rights?

Answer by  technogeek (6640)

If the parents are not married, and the mother has custody of the children, the father can give up his parental rights. He will not have to pay child support, but he also cannot see the children.

Yes, a father or mother can both give up parental rights. Giving up parental rights is usually permanent also as the decision is considered final. However, usually in a case like that there are another set of guardians willing to adopt the child and can provide a better and stable environment.
