Legal Question in Family Law in North Carolina

First, the father can not simply give up his rights. You would need to petition the Court to have his rights terminated and you would need a good reason. The state will be very reluctant to cut a parent loose from child support - oh, yeah, if his rights are terminated, in addition to not seeing the child any more - you no longer get child support and that puts the state and the tax payers in a potential position to have to pick up his end of the obligation - something most judges are very reluctant to do. So bottom line - you will need to consult a local family law attorney to discuss your options! Best of luck!
