I've been doing a bit of research online. I've just got some questions. The father of my unborn child and I were never married (he's still legally married to a different women that he has a child with) and online it said he has no legal rights to the child unless he does a paternity test. Can I deny the paternity test since I am the mother? I'm not putting him on the birth certificate either (I've already talked to someone about putting him on the bc and they said I don't have to) My next question is, could I go before a judge and get the fathers rights terminated before the child is born? The biological father has not talked to me, paid for anything for the child, and he's lied to multiple women about knowing me, and he's told women that the child isn't his. Could I take that before a judge and say here's what he's been lieing about, he's never paid for anything, he never asks about the child. He's basically forgotten/stopped caring about my baby. P.s. He has another baby that was just born who he also had nothing to do with. Thanks xx.

@katiesmiles1 he runs around and lies, and says no it's not his kid and this that and the other, but a couple months ago he wanted rights to see his child, and I said I will not send my child down there until I feel like you've got your crap together and I know that my baby will be safe around you. He likes to pawn his daughter off on anyone will take her and if no one takes her he complains and takes her anyway! He's taken her to a bar while he was drinking before...I don't plan on putting him on the bc because he's not stable, and if he's going to lie about not knowing me and the child being his I don't see why he should have rights. I told him months ago if he wanted to see his child we could meet on a public place so he could spend time with his baby, I told him I have no intention of keeping him form seeing his child, but since he started running around lieing to people I don't see why I should give him the chance when he doesn't want to claim the baby. I know that he can always have a paternity test done, but I highly doubt he'd do it until the baby was a couple years old which is what I want to keep him from doing
@melly_17, no you can't take right away from a person who's not claiming them. As long as he doesn't sign the bc he has no rights to your baby. Same thing happened with my brothers child expect his ex was the one who didn't want him to sign the bc and had to take her to court. Because he wanted time wth his son and she wouldn't allow it. When we went with a lawyer they told him since he wasn't on the bc he had no rights. Until he signed it
And the only reason he's not being the father is because he's hopping from one girl to another. He's lied to every girl he's been with, saying he doesn't know me, it's not his kid. But like I said I don't want his money bc he's already owing $550 a month to another women for a child. He's fallen so behind on that his taxes were taken, he didn't see a dime of it, and he's still behind on it. He doesn't know how to be an adult.
I don't want child support! I'll never see it! He can't keep a job, he can't pay bills! He makes his grandma pay for everything! He sleeps in his grandmothers living room with his daughter on an air mattress. I don't want him to do a paternity test because I know he's the father and I don't want him having any rights. I'm taking the steps so he can't come back and lie to a judge and say he's been here the whole time or I won't let him see his child! He's mentally, and financially unstable. I want to know if I can take away his rights so he can't come back in a few years and lie.
I'm trying to terminate his rights because I know he'll try and come back and get joint custody because he wants to claim his 4 children on his taxes, that's what he did with his daughter, and when he didn't get back what he claimed he got pissed and threatened to take her back to her mother.
There is no point in terminating the rights. He has none. If you don't put him on the birth certificate he would have to take you to court and they would order a paternity test for him to get rights to your child. However, don't go after him for child support if you don't want to go to court because if he wanted to there is a chance that he could get joint custody
I guess idk why u wanna take the "extra" step if its unnecessary and he isn't bothering you ..?? I'm confused lol
Idk about termination of rights on your own he wld have to sign and if he's denying being the father then he won't even want a paternity test most likely.. Its to my knowledge that he has to be proven he's the father through DNA and then he wld have to volunteer to sign his rights over.. But idk y even going thru that if u don't have to and he doesn't want to be there for you?? If u guys go thru with a DNA and he terminate his rights u can't get child support ever..
I think that there rights come when they support the baby.. like as long as he's not signing the birth certificate and not paying child support you should be fine... because he wouldn't be a "real" parent. Hope that makes since and helps. Sorry your going through all this.
@melly_17, then you're fine. He has no rights to His child.
