Need more info. Retain counsel to assist. Not real complicated, however, cutting off parental rights, even under such circumstances can be difficult.
Re: termination of noncustodial paternal rights
Terminating parental right without another person to take the place of the displaced parent. You should consider obtaining an order that he is not to have any visitation with the child. You really need to consult with a family law attorney and review the facts of your case and the options available.
