we need to go deeper

But I don't know what six numbers in a row is called

go on..

Well, IMO it's more of and "and", not an "or", all trips must contain dubs, so all trips are also dubs by extention. I don't know if you meant that as a joke, but that's my reasoning.

yea, I didn't say they'd always get what they wanted but it's already a thing. You know this happens with rape victims right? In many states if a man has been convicted of raping the mother to get her pregnant, his parental rights aren't terminated.

It's a thing, but it's not really an "opt out", it's only used in very special cases, not really an option for most people who accidentally knocked up a woman who insists on keeping it and demanding child support or one who said she was on the pill or plain unlucky fail of condom. . And of course it's horrible if a rapists parental rights aren't terminated, but rape is an entirely different can of worms from what "we all are bitching about".

family-law.freeadvice.com/family-law/child_custody/voluntarily-terminating-parental-rights.htm you have to get a judge to agree, as with most legal documents and it varies from state to state.

And this is moslty relevant to when you adopt away the kid, since the courts are extremely reluctant to approve it when there's noone who's ready to "take over" your responsibility. And also, it needs the approval of the custodial parent (the mother), so it's a little redundant for this situation, since she could just not file for child support if she agreed. In other words, almost completely irrelevant.

"Two common situations that often lead to requests to terminate parental rights include: (1) a parent who wishes to terminate his/her child support or financial obligation for the child; and (2) a parent who desires to have the other parent completely out of their life. Neither ground is generally sufficient alone to constitute “good cause” and will not typically be approved."
