When I became pregnant the father of my child wanted me to get an abortion and I would not do it. i do not want him to be a part of my childs life. He has two DUIs and i do not trust him with the safety of my child. the child in question is 6 months of age and he still has not had any contact with me even though he knows that she exists. How do i get his rights relinquished?

Your question appears to mish-mosh a few different legal concepts. "Relinquishment" is a voluntary giving up of parental rights. You are probably seeking "termination of parental rights," but be aware that in Nevada, getting such an order also terminates your right to seek child support for the child. You should consult with qualified counsel, after getting some background information, which you can review at:
