Termination of Parental Rights

I am hoping someone can help. I live in Ventura County, California. My daughter is 5, and has not had contact with her father in four years. He lives out of state (Washington). I filed for cusotdy and he did not even respond to the service. I would like to terminate his parental rights completely, but am unable to find anyone, attorney or otherwise who has any info on this. Typically termination leads to adoption, but that is not my case. I simply wish to eliminate any rights he has to her. I do not want back child support, I do not want anything. I have found the paperwork online for other counties in California, but not mine. Is it possible to petition for termination without an adoption. If so how do I proceed. I do not think he will contest. He has sent no money, cards, phone calls, etc. He has a criminal record, has not transfered any of his documents (drivers license, car loan, registration) to the state where he lives, and he has been there four years. He has a history of drug use. Any info would be helpful thank you very much!

If you have a PPL (parenting plan) you may modify (modification of PPL). Add what ever you feel is fit for you & your child. Put in there father has no visits, as well, add to this a restraining order. If he has never showed for court any other time, he may not show for this. And if he doesn't the court will grant you whatever you had put in the PPL. As far as terminating his parental rights, courts don't look kindly to this. Always try an alternative and this is the way to go. If you have no PPL- pick up a blank copy of a temp. proposed & final order PPL. Fill it out, file it. When the court sees that the father does not show, the judge will grant you everything you had asked for. Including that the father has no visits, no joint custody, and etc.. It works in your favor when the father does not show for the hearing!!!
