Relinquish Father's Rights

My daughters biological father has had nothing to do with her and he cannot be found but she has his name. I was wondering how can I relinquish his rights from her? And how would I go about doing that because he cannot be found?

Why bother? You'll spend a mess of money and he still won't have anything to do with her. So what's the point?

You can not "relinquish his rights to her". Only a judge can do that....And only in certain situations. As you have not chosen to post WHY you feel the need to sever the rights of the father I can't say if you meet the criteria.

Why do you want to do this?
