I've had my step son living in my house since May '07. He was brought to us by the state due to domestic violence between him and his mom. He's been in therapy and very difficult over the past year. We have full residential custody and up until January sole custody. His mom was given visitation every other weekend starting 1/9/08. This has made thing worse because he comes home with an attitude and very disrespectful to me. On Mon. 4/21 he physically bumped me twice and was verbally threatening and abusive. I called his father who left work. My step-son called his mom. The police came to my house and then questioned my step-son and told him his actions could put him juve. He didn't care. I went to work and when I came home at 6pm I had threatening messages on my machine. I called the police and they told me to go in the morning to file a complaint. I did and she was served on 4/24/08. 4/25/08 his mother ended up making false allegations against my fiancé to get a TRO. So they took my step son and put him with his mother even though I asked for them to hold him so we could file an ex parte hearing. They wouldn't and now she has him with a restraining order. We have to appear in court on 5/2 at 8am. My fiancée is done with all this drama. He wants to give up his parental rights.

Only if the judge will allow it. The rules vary from state to state.
But if the father no longer wants to see or visit the child, nothing forces him to, he just stops all contact and that is it.

Right and I will add that stopping visitation does not stop the requirement to pay support.
