My son is going to be 8 years old, and he spent about 3 full days with his biological father since he has been born. I gave his father nothing but chances to be a father to my son. I say my son because I feel I am his mother and his father. My son was planned and not a mistake between us both, but due to the fact, his father and I went separate paths and we wasn't going to work together, he decided not to be there. Now my son being older and see that his father isn't around, he's hurt. I hate it because my son is my world and my job 24-7 is to always protect my baby boy. I just want him to give up his entire rights and leave us be. How do I go about getting him to sign over ALL his parental RIGHTS? Please I am open for all answers and help.

Are you able to contact him? Have you brought this up to him? If so, he doesn't seem to care about the child and would probably do it. If not, I would keep trying to contact him and try any of his family if you can to get ahold of him.him.

Try talking to a family law lawyer to see what your options are in the meantime. Then go from there. Good luck!

Where do you get the idea that he can just sign over his rights? This is a myth. Only a court can terminate parental rights and courts are VERY reluctant to do so. Generally a court will issue a TPR only to clear the way for an adoption or if the parent represents a danger to the child.

If you were to go to court, the court is likely to say that he is not exercising his rights at this time so why bother? When and if he tries to be a part of his child's life, then you can review this. But for now, don't waste your time and money.

He can not just sign over his rights, if you were remarried and another man wanted to adopt, yes he can sign his rights over to allow an adoption. It is as Scott said a myth about giving up rights, if it was that easy men would do it all the time to not pay child support.

But he is not using his rights, so what do you plan on gaining, he is not visiting, not requiring school reports, not requiring religious eduction. He is doing nothing. So sorry, protect child from what, stop father from using what right ? He is not using any of them now.

If latter the father wants to be part of the child's life, you can fight it then, there is nothing to win in court now, you have what you want, the father is out of the child's life already
