    Severence of fathers right
    My granddaughters father is having his rights severed. He is a convicted felon. Is he still obligated to pay child support or have any rights at all? We live in Colo

    I assume by the court. DO you know the specific reason for it.. simply being a convicted felon isn't reason enough.

    Since it is very rare to have rights taken away, we need to know more about it.

    Has he been proven a danger to the child ? Was he in prison for a very long time?

    Did he sign away rights to allow a step parent to adopt ?

    But often if rights are taken because he is a danger to the child, he will still pay support, if the child is having a step parent adoption, support ends.

    Some state sever both rights and responsibilities. Others only rights. I can't find a specific statute for CO that addresses this issue. But a court will rarely sever rights where it ends support.

    Does the mother have an attorney? If not, this question should be asked of the judge.
