What can a man do to terminate his parental right?

Well, for starters, in most states, terminating parental rights does remove your financial obligation.  I can't speak for CERTAIN in ALL states, but an actual TPR generally means ending financial obligation.  It is different from stopping custody or visitation.  It removes you from being the father...off the birth certificate and everything.\n\nHOWEVER, you can't just "give up" your rights so you don't have to pay child support.  The courts aren't stupid.\n\nSomeone must initiate a petition in court for termination of parental rights.  Usually the mother.  I don't even think you have the option, but you may.\n\nIt requires lawyers, guardian ad litems, and a lot more than you just wanting to give them up.\n\nUnless the mother decided at some point that she want's your rights terminated, you may have a chance, but otherwise, no way.\n\nI was even told by the judge that termination of rights is often used as a THREAT to fathers who don't pay child support, but that the courts actually don't do it.\n\nPartially because they are not going to let a father get away with that, and mostly because by removing the father's financial obligation, the state ends up picking up the slack in the form of welfare, medicaid, etc.\n\nIn addition to the simple fact that the court is not going to let a man off the hook as far as being responsible for his kids, the other issues the court looks at are that if the father's rights are terminated and then the mother dies, the children are orphans.  Once again meaning that the state would have to step in and spend its resources caring for the child.\n\nSo anyway, the bottom line is, unless the mother is remarried and has someone who wants to adopt your children, you are SOL.

First you have to prove he is your father, they you have to get his permission. Speak to a lawer because you will have to  go to court.

Sir. You suggested "rearranging your lives" around the child. I know you suggested this, because in you heart you are alrady convicted this is the right choice.\n\nWhat most aren't aware of is, we were all breathed into by God Himself. Thus, we all have a conscience of good. Don't resist this truth in your heart. Take responsibility as a man. Be the father you know you should be.\n\nGive your heart and life to Christ. Let Him guide you in fatherhood. Think about it, who is a greater father than Christ?

I would expect one could try petitioning the court, in proving the other parent unfit. But the first step would be to find a good attorney to advise you of that possibilitly and what your rights are.\nBe sure to take your divorce papers with you.

sorry lady its a lost cause, the mother is not strong enuff to do the job, you need to get the dad to step in and do some discipline, but chances are it is to late.\n get use to the fact that he may be spending a lot of time in jail in the future, and pray to God that he watches over this person.\n\np.s. my personal belief is to keep government out of this, once thay get a hold of something thay do not let go. you do not want the government running your life.\n\ngo to a local church and talk to a youth minister, NOW

That depends on the laws in your state. MOre states are passing laws that make it easier to terminate right of fathers(and mothers) who dont pay child support or dont see their kids. You need to contact a lawyer or legal services in your state. Most have a free initial consult. They can tell you what your options are. Goodluck!

the minute you tell him to leave and he doesnt he is committing a crime (tresspassing). you can call the police at any given moment where you revoke your welcome and he refuses to leave. \nThe police probably wont do anything but force him to leave because it is very difficult to prosecute tresspassing, especially since he is the father of your children. but if they have to come to your house more than a few times, they'll get pissed and actually pursue charges.

Not the proper way of handling the situation , try divorce first as you may be open to a federal charge for taking the kid across state lines . The father has rights also in spite of your differences.

You need to be more specific in your question. I don't think you can stop child support unless on or the other parent gives up all rights to the child.

Where in the world do you live?  I have never heard of a man being able to kick a wife and 3 children out of their home.  Have you talked to a lawyer, are any of your children also his biological children, if not you could have problems, bless the little children who have to go through emotional pain caused by care less adults.\n\nBlubla

Google "fathersrights"  there is a lot of free advice and links to help dads. See if there is a local chapter in MO where he can get legal advice and suggestions on line.Thousands of dads are fighting to be active in their kids lives, from jail and a lot of ex's goal is to keep them in there by filing OPs and having them arrested under false charges. Tell him to hang on and never give up!

You can give up your rights without a problem...just some legal paperwork.  However, be aware that you will still be responsible for child support until the baby turns 18.  It is the law.\n\nP.S.  If you weren't ready, you should have kept your pants on.  It takes two to commit the deed.  Only sure fire way of preventing pregnancy is abstinence.  You might want to take that into consideration the next time you are thinking with the wrong head.

First of all, get married before you consider this. \n\nSecond ... there are 2 ways to do this. The biological father has to waive his rights to paternity, or agree to the adoption. If he won't waive his rights, and won't agree, then you can petition to have his rights waived, but it is very difficult, very expensive, and doesn't often get granted unless the biological father poses a very real and dangerous threat.\n\nEither way, the process is not cheap by any means. First get married, then save up ... a lot.
