What is the name of your state? North Carolina
My child's father was incarcerated last year on several drug charges and is now going to be in Federal Prison for over 20 years. I want to have have his rights as a parent terminated. He has made several attempts to contact me and has even written my family numerous letters, his family also makes contact to try to see my child. I don't feel safe allowing my child to be around them and I don't want him to come home 20 years from now and try to stalk my child. Can I have his rights terminated, because I'm pretty sure he won't do it voluntarily. He did not sign the birth certificate which is another issue itself (beacuse I'm getting married and trying to change my child's name) so I don't know if that helps the situation any. If so, how could I go about doing this and would it require a lawyer? Thanks so much..have a great day!
