There is no time limit. Only way he can lose parental rights to his child is by signing over his rights.

Once the child has grown into adulthood, he/she can choose not to accept the absentee father as a parent.
Otherwise an absentee parent doesn't lose parental right any more than they lose parental OBLIGATIONS.

no one shouldd lose parental rights to a child, as long as they are the parents, until the child reach the legal age and declare their independence, still morally the parent always and should have a parental rights to a child!

He doesnt. If his name is on the BC, he remains the father. Now, if mom remarries and stepdad wants to adopt the kids, I believe that a search for real dad has to be made in order to get his permission and release himself as father. But a genuine effort has to be made. You cant just say "I called him and I got no answer, so...."

NO TIME LIMIT. HIS PARENTAL RIGHTS CAN ONLY BE TERMINATED BY COURT ORDER.
