    Parents rights
    I want to have my daughter's biological father sign over his parental rights. I had tried for 2 years to get him involved in her life. He wouldn't have anything to do with her. She is almost 5 years old now. I want to have his parental rights taken and my fiancé would like to adopt her. He says he would never sing over his rights but yet doesn't want anything to do with her. Is there anything we can do?

    Well if he doesn't want to relinquish his parental rights, you can't force him to.

    Does he pay child support?

    Yes, if he is not paying child support start enforcement now, and be tough, often when the parent who does not want anything to do with the child will sign over the rights to allow adoption if they don't have to keep paying support.

    But it is going to be hard to adopt if he will not sign over his rights
