How to Remove Parental Responsibility from a Father
“How to remove parental responsibility from father if he is unfit? What proof do I need as a now single mother? His parents are making this so hard and I don’t have any family myself to help with advice“
I am very sorry that you are in this situation. It must be very tough for you.
The process of removing parental responsibility depends on where you live. In most countries a parent can be deemed unfit when:
- They have been abusive or have neglected the child.
- They have a history of alcohol or drug abuse.
- They have a history of mental illness that makes them unable to take care of the child.
- Their living conditions are considering inappropriate for the child because they are dangerous or unsanitary.
If any of these points apply to the father of your child, you will need to collect evidence. Evidence may include text messages, voice notes, social media messages, medical records and witness’ testimonies. With this evidence, you can go to court to seek full custody of your child. Keep in mind that judges are usually very reluctant to deny contact between a parent and a child because it is considered that being cared for by both parents is beneficial for children.
My advice would be to contact a lawyer in the area you live, as they are best placed to advise you. I imagine that you must be going through a difficult time and things may get even more difficult if you go down this route. If you need support, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me. I am here to help.

Maravilloso artículo sobre la serie Adolescentes y consejos de gran ayuda en una etapa tan complicada de nuestros hijos , tan desprotegidos frente a las nuevas tecnologías.Es una ayuda tremenda para nosotros. Muchas gracias
I'd imagine this is quite deteremental for a childs development in the long run as nothing stays the same forever, and we shouldn't really be making these categorisations, especially towards our children.
Just live life, sometimes you'll have to be the parent that's the shoulder to cry on. The week after you may have to raise your voice a little when everyone is in a rush and you're trying to get your children's shoes on.
Just balance it all out, don't be too self critical and pick up on what your child wants and needs.
Again, great writeup!

It is always difficult to have kids living with you, wanting to support them and their parents but at the same time not wanting to step in anyone's toes.
