Re: termenation of fathers rights

Hello. Termination of parental rights is a very

serious matter. You will have a difficult time

doing this, in my opinion, because dad still owes

your child child support and the court is not

going to let him off the hook. I suggests that

you file a petition for rule to show cause against

dad for his failure to pay child support. He

will probably have to pay your attorneys fees

should the court decide to enter the "rule"

against him, which means he will be held in

contempt of court, unless he can give the court

a reason why he did not pay child support; there

is no reason, therefore a "rule" will be entered

against him. I will be happy to answer any

additional questions that you might have.
