Can parental rights be terminated after not paying child support for one consecutive year in Louisiana?

Depends on the reason for the non-payment. Only 3% of child support obligors refuse to pay for no significant reason. The remainder are due to unemployment and indigent status in the poor economy. Currently, the Southern Center for Human Rights is suing the state of Georgia for the jailing of unemployed and unemployable fathers for child support arrears they can not possibly pay.
As for the lost of parent rights, the cost to society for fatherless children is significantly higher than any amount of child support owed and paid. Over 90% of those committing crime were raised without a father, so this issue needs to be addressed lightly as it has significant and far reaching detriments to society in general.
