I had a child in September and the father is not listed on the birth certificate so he currently has no legal rights. He has agreed in writing to not be involved in any aspect of our sons life, but I'm not sure if I should file a legal termination. I was legally married to another man at the time, but we had been separated for over a year at he time of conception. I don't want my sons father to try and establish paternity in the future and then have rights to our son after not being involved in the early years of his life. He currently has a warrant out and is evading arrest, and also has a history of drug and alcohol abuse. Would it be in my and my sons best interests to go ahead and establish paternity to remove his rights, or just leave it be? Thank you for any advice!
