to be honest, I don't deal with parental rights very often, I will look it up or check with a colleague. In FL failure to pay Child Support is not good enough reason to take parental rights away, but I'll check with someone who works with this issue. As to the Child support, why isn't the mother filing a Motion for Contempt for failure to pay Child Support? Even if she won't get much out of him, she will get this on record. It really makes sense to do this.
