Only a court can do this. You need a lawyer.
I got a great-nephew no one in this family knew about until he was two. His maternal grandparents wanted to adopt him. If the father is of a decent sort (which my nephew is) and he is *game* to pay child support, it's easier to come to a friendly agreement (especially if the father has decent parents who will absolutely adore their grandchild).
The is the kind of thing best discussed by the family over coffee, and not in a courtroom.
Your post, however, suggests you and the father have some serious ill-will between each other.Child visitation/custody and child-support issues are sometimes used as weapons in such disputes. If he is paying child support, and short of him being an unfit parent (hard to prove) you really don't have a leg to stand on.
Your child should not become a weapon to use against his father. It will only warp him.

By law a father is legally obligated to provide for the child until it is 18, parental rights may be terminated if there is someone else to adopt the child, such as you were getting married. A mother cannot just terminate the fathers rights because that is letting the father off easy, he wouldn't have to pay child supprt or take responsibility for the child and the law will not allow that.

Wow, that's hard to say. I have seen children as young as 15 terminate parental rights. First, the child will need an attorney and the attorney. Then the Court will appoint a Guardian to assist in the process. This takes time and money. I don't know where you are (state and city wise), but I have worked with one attorney in that capacity before that I thought was very competent here in the state of Florida.
You will need to find a good family/juvenile attorney no matter where you live.
Good Luck and Take Care

Yellow pages to find a lawyer. If the father hasn't initiated ANY contact for 2 years in PA he can just be stripped of his rights. He doesn't get a vote.

I cannot suggest a lawyer, since I have no idea where you live. You need to open the phone book and contact a Family Law attorney. Consults are generally free of charge.
