i have a very simple problem where i just need to unparent an object in the middle of an animation so the character can put something down. i know lw can do it so i assume maya can as well but i can't find it anywhere in the help files. any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you very much!

nope you can't do this: no way to key a child parent relationship
what you can do is use point and orient constraints and key the weight'n

You can use the point and orient constraint until the next release
