You need to contact a local attorney to discuss this case. Parental rights are a constitutional right and may not be easy to dissolve. A termination of parental rights case will be required to dissolve the father's rights. As the father is in prison and the child has not seen him for 2 years, you may have grounds to dissolve the father's rights. However, it will take a court case to dissolve those rights, so an attorney should be contacted.
