From the sounds of it you are not going to have much of a problem in doing this.
What you will have to do (after there has been a test done to establish paternity) is contact an attorney and get him to draw up the paperwork for you. And you may even be able to do this yourself with some help from the Internet.
Or if you are very limited on income either contact legal aid and ask for help OR contact the father and tell him that if he wants no contact with his child and does not want to pay future child support then HE needs to contact an attorney and get the papers drawn up for a resolution of paternal rights.
Both parties sign the paperwork, it is filed in the courts, a court date will be set up, both parents go before the judge, and the court order is signed.

a individual can not relinquish their rights to a newborn the same way the relinquish using a pair of trainers. No. This guy is the father and he has ethical responsibilities besides as criminal responsibilities to that newborn. whether he has no morals, that's obvious, he continues to be obligated to assist that newborn. the two financially and emotionally. yet you may likely overlook the emotional section. he's in basic terms a bum. finding for a thank you to get faraway from financial help. He can although, relinquish/lose his parental rights in case you may teach that once he exercising those rights, it somewhat is risky to the newborn. This might desire to be carried out in a courtroom. A relatives courtroom. frequently the same courtroom that issued the separation/divorce decree. because of the fact the custodial discern, you will possibly desire to institute that form of litigation. yet all that would not follow subsequently. he's in basic terms a bum. Now 2 techniques approximately it. He has to proceed his newborn help and different criminal responsibilities. and you are the only that could desire to proceed to computer screen this in a courtroom of regulation. i comprehend his form all too nicely. whilst he sees that this tactic won't paintings, he will arise with different 'foolproof' plans. each and each plan dirtier than the final. yet with this 'giving up rights' thought, you haven't any longer have been given something to concern. good success.

My sister went through this exact thing in Louisiana. He finally did relinquish rights to the children, but I will tell you it was not cheap for my sister. You will have to pay to file necessary papers/docuements, and the father has to sign papers. So your first step is to determine whether or not he will do it. Then, hire an attorney.

You must contact a lawyer. They will set up the paper work and deliver to the childs father. If no response from the father then it is abandonment and the courts will banish his rights. You will not get that type of protection unless the papers are served to him.

I will tell you what my lawyer told me when I asked the same thing.
"It is not about you or what you think is right. That man made a child and can not just sign that away. Nothing will ever change that he is a father: not denying it, not signing his rights away, or ignoring the child. That child has rights. It is not up to you as his mom, or your ex as his dad, to take those rights away from him. If he chooses to stay out of his life emotionally, he still owes it to his son to give him financial support. Your son deserves that money."
I didn't agree with her at the time, but once I thought about it, I knew she was right.
