Legal Question in Family Law in Utah

Unfortunately, it's not that simple. The fact that you don't want to see a child does not relieve you of your financial obligation to support a child that you fathered. The law requires you to provide financially for your child. Otherwise, the taxpayers would have to do it in the form of public assistance which is unfair to them. You would need to speak with the mother and see if there's any way she would be willing to work on terminating your parental rights through the courts, but that is a difficult process and usually is not granted if she doesn't have the ability on her own to financially support the child. My guess is since she has already gone to the state to get a child support order put into place, she's not likely to work on anything to terminate your rights. You can hope that she gets married and her husband is willing to adopt the child. In that instance, the court will terminate your rights due to the fact that someone else is willing to step into the picture to support your child.
