  • FIRST of all, he has to be proven to be the father of the child in a court of law. This means the two of you need to go before a judge with evidence of this. Which typically means getting blood tests done as a minimum. THEN the judge can legally remove all parental rights as father to the child, BUT there are some things to consider here. 1. YOU have to agree to this as well. 2. A judge is NOT likely to do this unless there are very compelling reasons to do so. He will be looking out for the best interest of the child and mother. And having the biological fathers rights removed means you cannot get child support for the baby. And a judge is EXTREMELY unwilling to do this to the child. There are probably a few other things to consider on this as well. YOU need to talk to a lawyer. Find one and get to it. Even if you think you cannot afford one, I'm telling you that you cannot afford NOT to get one. They are intimately familiar with the law and matters concerning the best interests of the child in cases like these. What this man wants is to be able to hide this from his family and never be held responsible for his actions. Well, he cannot do this by this means. In order to have his parental rights removed, he will HAVE to be proven to be the father FIRST. Which means a court record will exist attesting to this. Personally, if he's the father, I believe he needs to own up to his responsibilities. If he didn't want this, he should have never fooled around with you.
  • Well unfortunately he has to man up and take responsibility for fathering the child. Unless you feel confident in your ability to raise the child, and do not want to get child support money from the father. Because that's what will happen - if you let him give up his rights to the child, you won't get any monetary help for it.
  • Don't let him off the hook. It is not just about you. He is responsible for that child and he needs to be a man. At the very least he MUST pay child support. Don't help him shirk his responsibility. If he wants to be anonymous, that is one thing, but he is still the father and there would be no child without him. I would really like to have a conversation with this fellow and explain a few things to him.
  • You guys are right. He told me at two weeks ago he had a family. we have been fighting neck and neck about this terminating rights thing. He even vowed to kill himself. This thing is so out of hand and too nuts.
  • He can't do it without your permission. ANd I wouldn;t let him. If he is big enough to father a child then he ought to be big enough to support it. He just doesn't want to get into trouble with his wife.
  • You have made a mistake to get physical with a married man. The wise thing to do would be just do as he wishes. Do not ever contact him again. There have been too many women beaten up or murdered while pregnant becuase the sperminator didn't want the child born. Two years ago a 16 year old girl near me told her 19 year old boyfriend she was pregnant. He proceded to beat her to death with a baseball bat.
  • Don't know but up here in New York most gals I know would tell him to ''Kiss my ass.'' yo...
  • first of all i can't tell you about your state but i can say that if he wants to let go of his rights to the child the best way to do this is through the courts where you would be able to finalize that he is no longer the childs father
  • Two words for you: CHILD SUPPORT. One word for him: ASSHOLE!
  • A small caliber pistol would fit in your purse and give him what he wants. No- dont kill him. Just make him help pay for the child you both made.Hes being selfish.
  • Go for it, the less hassle you will have for the rest of your life. He sounds like a jerk, and its most likely because he doesnt want to pay child support.
  • To begin here, please don’t even think of letting this guy off of the hook of supporting his child by terminating the parental relationship. The entitlement to that financial aid and a assistance is an inherent right of your baby to be born. It is not your legal or moral right to sever that relationship or waive the child’s entitlement to support from his or her father. But as mentioned it must first be established that the reputed father is the biological father. My advice is that you go ahead NOW to establish the parental relationship – even before the child is born. Which you can do under Georgia Law Title 19-7-43 which provides in part: “If a petition under this article is brought before the birth of the child, all proceedings shall be stayed until after the birth except service of process, discovery, and the taking of depositions.” ____________________ Secondly, you need to be advised that a prior response regarding termination is somewhat misleading in that it ignores the requirement under Georgia law that BEFORE ANY consideration can be given to an application for termination of the parent-child relationship THE COURT MUST FIRST FIND THAT: “There is present clear and convincing evidence of parental misconduct or inability as provided in subsection (b) of this Code section *.” (See: Georgia Laws Title 15, Chapter 11, Article 2, Section 94) And then, and then only can the Georgia court look to evidence of the existence of the listed statutory grounds and apply that criteria - and upon ” considering the physical, mental, emotional and moral conditions and needs of the child and the need for a secure and stable home” - find whether or not termination is in the best interests of the child. It is not a simple matter of the biological father wanting out of the parental relationship and its attendant responsibilities and the mother consenting. But again, other than establishing the issue of paternity, please do not make any decisions now that could very well have a serious affect upon your baby’s economic and emotional future and very likely your own relationship with the child. I wish you and the baby the very best, Sax [*] “Misconduct or inability” is defined as 1. Deficient physical, mental or emotional ability. 2. Chronic, “unrehabilitated” substance abuse. 3. Felony conviction of a crime negtively affecting the relationship. 4. A history of egregious concuct, physical, mental, sexual cruelty. 5. Substantial evidence of the parent’s misconduct that resulted in the death or injury to a child of the parent.
  • I wouldn't do it. If the kid wants to write him off when he/she gets older that's their choice.
