He'll never lose his rights. If he wanted to , he can always take you to court and get visitation right. The only way he will lose his rights is if he gives up all parental rights in court. Even if he still does this he still has to pay child support no matter what. Don't let him miss a payment. If he misses a payment, report him.
rights can be taken if you file for abandonment. Abandoment will be considered if there is six consecutive months of no contact between the parent and child. I am going through it now so my husben can adobt my daughter.
I was told it was 3 months of no contact in Tenessee. I am also working on getting remarried, and my current fiance adopting my first child. As far as she knows, he is her father. She does not know nor remember ever having another. It's been 3 years since a visit or child dipport check has been seen.

∙ 18y agoAll states have abandonment laws, in most states it is six months. Those laws are subject to the application in which a judge chooses. If the person has good reason, such as they did not have the financial means to travel to where the child was, they were on duty in the military, they had/have medical problems and so forth. There are any number of factors that can keep the presiding judge from enforcing such laws, and there is always the right of appeal on the part of the absent parent. Courts are reluctant to permanently terminate parental rights except in extraordinary situations.

It depends on your legal status before and after the father left. If you are married then he still has full parental rights until a court renders a custody order. If you have been divorced custody should have been addressed in the divorce decree. If you were never married and he has no previously established custodial rights then you have full legal custody.

Courts do not grant parental rights, custody and restraining orders without evidence. They do not grant custody to a man who only "says" he's the father or to someone who is "presumed" to be the father. They establish paternity first. You should contact an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options.Courts do not grant parental rights, custody and restraining orders without evidence.
