    Parental rights
    My husband did not see his child from another relationship for the first 2 years of her life. Does that mean he gave up his parental rights?

    No, that means that he didn't see her. He has to sign away his parental rights. In some states, some judges won't allow it. Why do you ask this question?

    No, it does not. Does he even have a visitation order? If not then he should get one so that the mother can't just say no you can't see her then because he will have it ordered by the judge.

    I wondered if he supports the child?

    Was visitation ordered and it's not happening or was no visitation ordered?

    (And good for him, paying support - usually when people post they aren't paying support.)

    No that does not mean anything except he just has not seen her, Why is he not seeing the child, has he went to court and gotten court ordered visitation. If he has , has he been fighting for those rights.

    But no, he merely needs to either get a court order or get it inforced

    Well pretty much what has been said is true if there is a visitation order he needs to have it enforced if not he will have to go to court to have a visitation schedule ordered.

Okay, my son is 3 months old. The father and I broke up when I was 2 months pregnant. He is not on the birth certificate, no dna test have been done. We want him to give up his parental rights. Does even have rights since he hasn't legally acknowledged my son as his.

I was wondering if there is a way to get the parental rights removed from an absent parent. I live in Arizona and my ex is somewhere in Michigan, I think. He has pretty much abandoned our son over the last 9 years. I am remarried and my husband would like to adopt him.
