Hello all,
To sum up my situation as fast as I can, I'd been dating a girl for little under 4 months. After breaking up with her, I come to find that she's pregnant. Due to hearing this and being 17 at the time, I stressed many times on being unable/unwilling to help her through this venture. But to my dismay, she refused any options and followed through with it anyway.
Now being a little over a year since the birth, I've come to find that Termination of Parental Rights may be the way for me to go since I still don't want to have the responsibility of the child. My questions are:
Can I request a TPR in order to give the mother all rights to the child? Can it stop child support payments as well as the interfering with options she has for the child's education, etc?
If not, do I have any options being that I was and still am unwilling to have anything to do with it?
Thank you very much for any responses,
