  • You'll have to check with a lawyer but regardless of if they were established, he still has rights. He is the father and that automatically gives him rights. He may never have bothered with using his rights but unless they are terminated through the court, if he decided he wanted to start getting involved with his child, he probably could.

  • Terminating child support does not terminate parental rights. Parental rights can only be terminated through the court.

  • cont.. lol he got child support from his missing Dad when he was 23,, his dad won some money, and the state garnished it, I am pretty sure you can terminate the parental rights,, but you don't have to get rid of the support.
