Relinquish Parental Rights

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Mississippi. I live in Mississippi, my daughter and her mother live in California. She has full custody of my daughter. Custody was filed in California. Which state do I have to file with to relinquish my parental rights?

Under what circumstances do you think you'll be relinquishing your parental rights. Is the child being adopted?

Child will be adopted. Mother has stated to me that her fiancè "provides everything for her and the child support is for me to finish my degree".

Then I have no idea why you are asking this question as the TPR is done WITH the adoption (obviously, in CA) and not a moment before the adoption.

I hope you didn't throw mom's comments in to garner some sympathy. If you allowed yourself to be lowered to nothing more than a child support check, then you're getting what you asked for. She can do whatever she wants with her child support money.

An adoption cannot happen until mom is MARRIED for at least a year or so.

Prior to that you cannot relinquish your parental responsibilities and you will be paying child support until/unless that happens.

In CA? Really? Statute, please, because I've never seen such a beast in CA.
