If another person files a petition to terminate the parents rights, the parent could simply allow the termination to happen so long as a judge finds its in the childs best interest. Another way is for the parent to sign over their rights to someone willing to adopt the child, such as the childs stepparent.
In America, the law varies by state, but generally Courts can order parental rights removed when in the best interest of the child. If there is someone willing to take the child, and the parents dont want to care for the child, a Court will usually terminate parental rights.
To sign over custody, legal parents can draft a parenting plan giving sole legal and physical custody to one parent. In the U.S., you must have the plan approved by a court. In most other countries, court approval is optional. If you dont seek court approval, at least sign the agreement in front of a notary.
Although it is generally very difficult, and obviously the court does not want a child to be without a father or mother, there are two documents that can help the court in terminating a parent-child relationship: an affidavit of relinquishment or an affidavit of waiver of interest in child.
Parental rights can sometimes be voluntarily relinquished through legal procedures, but this varies by jurisdiction and requires court approval. Grandparents seeking custody or visitation must file petitions demonstrating the childrens best interests, especially if parents are uncooperative.
