Q: She is 3 and has not seen him since she was 4 months old. He has never even bothered to show up to any of the custody hearings. She would not even know who he is and he has 4 other children he has either given up for adoption or refused to see them. I want to do this so I never have to worry about him just showing up and taking her.
A: David's Answer: I agree the Court may possibly terminate visitation, but cannot ultimately terminate his parental rights unless within the context of an adoption proceeding. Speak further with a Child Custody lawyer in your area. -- David Bliven, Westchester Family Law attorney (www.blivenlaw.net)
