Generally, the only way to remove parental responsibility from someone is to make an application to the Court. Although if someone has been given parental responsibility through a court order, then that responsibility would end once the court order is no longer in force.

In order to terminate their rights, a petition to terminate an absent parent's parental rights will need to be filed in family court. The judge will then proceed to review the case and the circumstances and determine whether parental rights should be terminated.

As such, the termination of parental rights is very rare. While you may feel that your deadbeat ex isn't worthy of the privilege of time with your child, the courts look on the matter differently, taking a child's needs and well-being into account over a parent's personal grievances.

Parents will have to file a petition with their local court requesting a hearing to determine parental rights. Once a petition is filed, parents need to attend a hearing before the judge who will determine whether rights will be granted/terminated.

Child abandonment occurs when a parent, guardian, or person in charge of a child either deserts a child without any regard for the child's physical health, safety or welfare and with the intention of wholly abandoning the child, or in some instances, fails to provide necessary care for a child living under their roof.

In the parent-child relationship, parents have some basic rights and responsibilities.However, a court can take these rights away from a parent if either one violates the law or if the father fails to claim paternity. A parent also may voluntarily terminate these rights.

Absent parent: If a parent has been absent for 6 months or more, the law allows the other, more responsible parent, to petition to terminate parental rights. Not just parents can terminate: in fact, anyone with an interest in the well-being of a child can attempt to terminate one or both parents' rights.

You may voluntarily give up your parental rights if someone else wants to adopt the child, or if someone else has filed a petition to terminate your rights. You will typically need to go to a court hearing to let the judge know your wishes in person.
