Dear Nobody:

Greetings. If he is paying child support currently, or has in the past year, than you cannot terminate his parental rights. If you do terminate his parental rights that he will not pay child support any longer, although your child will still be able to inherit from him, unless your child is adopted by your new spouse. Thank you and best of luck.

</font id=“Comic Sans MS”></font id=“red”>Thank you in advance. My childrens father has not had any form of contact with them in over two years now. I am starting my divorce process and was curious if I can request him to terminate his parental rights and still have him pay child support was possible. The childrens therapists agree it is not in thier best intrest to have contact with him any longer. [^]
