QUESTION: My son is 3 weeks old and his father isn't on the birth certificate. I want to get his parental rights terminated.
MY RESPONSE: You can't. Children are entitled to a father and a mother. If the father doesn't know he has a child, the closest that you can come to terminating his parental rights at this time would be by keeping him in a state of ignorance. If the father knows he has a child and has access to his child, yet makes no effort to contact or support his child for a period of at least one year, it may be possible to terminate his parental rights in a stepparent adoption.
