    On my own
    I am 22 single and I have a 2year old son. My question is this, My son's father has not seen him since he was two weeks old and I want him to turn his rights over, but he will not do it, is there a legal way to get his rights taken away, I do not want my son to have anypart of this man and he is sure not standing up for my son. Please I need help.:(

    It won't happen the way you think it will. Check at the bottom of the screen for similar questions that have been posted on this site.* It's a frequently-asked question.

    Consult with a lawyer.

    ScottGem said in one thread: "There are many threads here that discuss this and they all say the same thing. Termination of parental rights has to be granted by a court. Courts rarely grant it unless there is someone waiting to adopt the child or the parent is a danger to the child. Even in cases where they do grant it, that doesn't mean their support responsibility ends."

    Wonder girl is right, I don't know what state you are in, but in some states after a yr of no attempt to make contact it is considered abandonment. And you might be able to use that to your advantage. But getting a lawyer really would be your best bet to petition the court. GL
