When my daughter's father and I separated, she was about 4 months old, and he moved from here (Texas) to Nevada. (we weren't married.) His name is on her birth certificate, but he doesn't have an active part in her life, only visits her every once in awhile. She'll be 2 in December, and he's only come to visit her twice since he moved out of the state. I do not collect child support, when he first left, he'd send me a little money every once in awhile when he had it, but he hasn't sent anything in over a year. I don't want the father to not be able to visit, I just want him to not have any parental rights to her. A very good friend of mine had a similar situation with her son, and after 2 years of the father saying he didn't want to be involved, he recently got married, and now he's trying to take the boy away from his mother. I just don't want the same thing to happen with my daughter. Any advice?
