No. You do not have the option of terminating your parental rights.

Re: Termination of Parental Rights

You have no right to unilaterally terminate your parental rights. It would a drastic remedy to what may be a short term problem, and one that you might regret for the rest of your life.

It is your former spouse who has the right to seek termination of your parental rights, if she were so inclined. Then, and only then, you would be able to give your consent, in a judicial proceeding.

Hope this helps.
