Can i have his parental rights terminated if he never wants to use his parenting time?

Hey, Im divorced and i have a 4 month old baby boy with my ex. He never wants to use his parenting time cuz he is always going out. he has seen my son for 3 days in the past month. The man im with now loves him and would like to adopt my son and but my ex will not volintarily sign off because of his mother. is there any way around him to get his parenting rights terminated?Can i have his parental rights terminated if he never wants to use his parenting time?
Not that I am aware of... the bio dad usually has to give consent.





I would suggest that you might hit him in the pocket book. Tell him that if he gives up his rights, then he won't have to pay support anymore. If he ISN'T currently paying support, I would make sure that you ask for it.





On the other hand... your baby is 4 months old... are you sure you want to make a big fight about your ex taking him from you for extended periods of time? Personally I would just be thankful that he doesn't want to use his time now and enjoy your extra time with your son...





Good luck... God blessCan i have his parental rights terminated if he never wants to use his parenting time?
No.





A four month old baby isn't a lot of time for him to adjust to parenthood, and that means your current relationship is also pretty new.





Finding a judge willing to void his rights as a parent is next to impossible. If he will not sign, you will simply have to deal with the situation. No offense, but the law is laid out pretty strictly to prevent flighty decisions from effecting people's lives.





Good luck.
No as long as he is paying child support there not a lot you can do. now if he is not paying child support let him go until he owes a lot then ask him to sigh off so your husband can adopt him. as time goes by he will probably stop coming around at all doesn't sound like he much of a parent does it .now when your baby gets to be 3-4 years of age i would set some ground rules with him. about being on time and taking him when he has promised
Nope. He would have to voluntarily terminate his rights. Regardless of how he's acting (hopefully he will grow up), he IS the baby's father and you can't take that from him. You slept with this guy, and this is the hand you're dealt. I hope that he will come around and be a man, but you can't force this on him.
The laws on this particular issue vary from state to state. In my state it is possible, but it may not be in your state. Your best bet is to contact a attorney.
depends on the state. most likely not though. even if u could prove him to be a shitty father getting his rights revoked will be tough. I went through the same thing as a child and was never able to leagaly adopted by my step father. good luck
Not that I am aware of. To my knowledge, he will have to agree to sign over his parental rights, they can't be terminated just because he doesn't use all his visitation time.
You can get a good lawyer and take him to court and let them know how he doesn't care to see his son and also does he pay child support?
not unless he does something really bad. sorry, no one can be forced to give up their parental rights.
