Jacksonville, AR asked in Family Law for Oklahoma

Q: Can I get my daughter's father right terminated easily?

I had a baby with a married man a yr ago. Child turned a yr old in may. He hasn't asked about her or seen her in over a month. He has very little interest in her, hes never kept her on his own, never seen her long usually about 20 min unless I would pay for me and her to accompany him on a business trip, & he hasn't helped support her at all except buying a crib ($200) and one shopping trip for diapers an formula when she was about 4 months old ($155) otherwise no support at all. Can we terminate his rights easily?

A: There are only two ways to terminate parental rights in Oklahoma.

1) the child is adopted or 2) the state can terminate rights for abuse or neglect in a deprived child case.
