Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

Re: Terminating Fathers Rights

Very unlikely. This is an area that custodial parents do not seem to understand.

The rights you call "father's rights" belong to the child. The child has a right to be supported and to have parents. Many judges are infuriated by a parent whose response to nonsupport is to try to cut off the father rather than continuing to pursue support. This is almost never a winning, or smart course of action.

Re: Terminating Fathers Rights

If you mean parental rights, it would be highly unlikely. The courts would expect you to seek support and probably not entertain terminating his rights without some kind of extreme circumstance.
