14 wks pregnant. Father illegal. Does not want baby; said he'd be "responsible". Can I terminate his rights?
Answer:
law will probably be on your side
Report him to immigrations and get his butt deported. No restraining order necessary. Have him sign away parental rights first, though. Then you can put your baby up for adoption if you still want to. I am sure he won't put up too much of a fight signing away parental rights, since you say he doesn't want you or the baby. Then, if you decide to keep the baby anyway, he has no rights so he has no business bothering you.
Good luck!
Contact a family law attorney. You can have his parental rights terminted. You could also call INS and have him deported but that could cause a lot of additional problems in the future that you do not want to deal with like revenge on his part. Because if he found one way to get into this country illegaly he will do it again. If you want to put her up for adoption then he can have that stopped, you need both parents consent for that. Good luck dear...
If you are not concerned with child support, turn him in to INS and get him deported. If he is not around at birth to sign the birth certificate with you, his name cannot go on it. If he ever wants anything to do with the child, he will have to hire an attorney and deal with it in the American court system, at considerable expense - he will have no legal rights otherwise. If you know he can't or won't put up the money for that, problem solved. Additionally, if you get him deported, the restraining order problem is solved as well.
In most states you can not terminate his rights without someone else being there to take the responsibility of said child. You can't place the child up for adoption without the father's consent, but if what you said is true he may very well be willing to sign the adoption papers being that he doesn't want the child and it sounds that you have your plate full with the 3 children you have at home already.. I wish you lots of luck.
First you have 4 kids and they need to feel loved and protected. Your kids have already been thru a divorce I've been thru it and I know what there going thru. Think of your kids first is he a danger to them and you? I'm thinking he is since your already thinking restraining order. Call imigration services and get some help. I would not let that idiot take that child anywhere. Because no amount of money is worth what he could do take the baby away.
Stand up for your rights deport him, he's a loser and strung you along long enough.Tells you exactly what you want to hear then boob he's back w ex u don't need added stress in your life get him out while you can!!! Good Luck hun.
Sorry, Barbara, but you can have parental rights terminated even if you don't have a significant other to adopt the baby as his own. I had my ex's rights terminated after 1 year of no visits or child support payments, and he didn't have to sign anything because after one year, the courts determine that he has no interest in the child and do not need his signature. I also paid an attorney $500 to have his full name changed to what I wanted since he was named after his father and I never called him that name. They run an ad in the legals section of your newspaper for a week, and if there's no response, they'll terminate the rights. Call immigration, get a restraining order, and after a year, you can have the rights terminated. As for offering the baby for adoption, there's nothing he can do since he is illegal. Good luck.
