Legal Question in Family Law in Kentucky

It doesn't sound like you have grounds for an involuntary termination of parental rights, and I doubt Dad is going to voluntarily give up his rights, because it still won't forgive his arrearages of child support. But if you're determined to try, schedule a consultation with a local family law attorney.

Actually, I think you do have grounds to pursue an involuntary termination of parental rights, though there is never a guarantee of success in such a matter. The grounds are spelled out in KRS 625. I have seen an involuntary granted for less than what you describe, but it really depends on the judge and the proof offered. It can be an expensive court proceeding if you retain counsel. This is the kind of thing you want to invest in consulting with an attorney face to face about.
