You must file a petition to terminate his parental rights. It is heard in Abuse, Neglect, Dependency Court and it can be complicated. You must meet the requirements of the statute and prove it in Court. Criminal non-support and abandonment are two of the grounds for a TPR. Alternately, he can consent to the adoption and be cooperative in that process. A completed adoption involves terminating parental rights.
