I have a 22 month old son who father is ....well to put it nicely...useless. He doesn't pay child support even though he's ordered too. He doesn't want to work and when he does he quits within 5 months usually. He rarely comes to visit unless there is something he wants. I was wondering if there is anyway to get him to relinquish his rights as a parent. I don't want to seem harsh, but we are better off without him. I want my son to be happy and he doesn't even know who his father is. I keep records of how long his father visits and on what day. He's spent less then 3 days time with my son since a week after he was born. I know i could take care of my son even without the child support because I have been doing this long without his help. I have no clue what my chances would be or where to start. I can't afford an atttorney yet so I figured I would try here.
