[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 603457, member: 1233"] I don't think you can go back and forth on termination of rights, but MUCH of this depends on where you live and the judge you have to cope with. The rules and terminology vary widely from state to state and even judge to judge. Much of it seems very subjective an part of that is how well your lawyer plays with others. It seems inconceivable that anyone would allow a child to be taken to a flop house/drug den, but it may happen. It might be wise to try to get some photos of the place, esp if you can get inside and see drug paraphernalia etc... If you are in doubt about how well he cares for the child, YOU or another party should complain to social services as often as possible. Info should NOT be what the mom says about the dad, but what is seen by the person reporting. or what the 'dad' says he is doing with the child. complaints that are not from the other parent are weighed much heavier because the other parent is seen as too biased against the unfit parent. Above ALL, document document document EVERYTHING. Include dates, times people there (full names if possible) and what happened. NO bad words about the other parent (like "ahole didn't show up again:") because those are considered inappropriate and possibly alienating the child from one parent. But with solid documentation of events you can show he is not interested/fit/whatever and that can help in a case like this. I hope your difficult child is able and willing to follow through on the lifetime commitment to the child no matter what happens to his relationship wtih the mom. No matter what happens between the adults, having a father who moves out and doesn't take part in the child's life is devastating in the long run to the child, regardless of who's dna he has.
