More details to this question:
Biological mother has been in and out of child's life for the first 2 years of the child's life and since the father has taken over custody 4 months ago the mother hasn't been doing her visitation, doesn't call to check on the child and hasn't been financially contributing. DCF has since been involved due to findings from when the child resided with the maternal grandparents.Mother has extended that she is unable to pay child support and since receiving papers on it will not answer phone calls or text messages. Bio-mom has also had her rights terminated for another child as well.

the fact that she had her rights terminated once before can be the grounds for termination on another child. That gets complicated. Do you suppose there is any chance she would agree to terminate?
