Re: Parental Rights
The short answer is "no." Someone must petition the Court for the termination, and the Court would not let him do so upon his own request absent very extraordinary circumstances.
If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
