I raised daughter by myself after the father abandoned us in my 7th month of pregnancy. He took his millions and tried to make sure we never got child support. (No gold digger here...he was a NBA player who I met while we were kids and helped prior to the NBA becoming a reality.) I fought him and he was brought to justice after 8 years of fighting in court.

I sacrificed my entire life for her to make sure she had somewhat of a decent life. A tennis scholarship for college (which she later walked off from) and aided in starting a modeling career.

He came along and promised our daughter then 19...her court ordered trust fund (which he had previously stole), a new flashy car and a host of other things. She took off like the wind while I was at work. I have not seen her in almost 2 years. I want to remove my name from her birth certificate and get this whole mess behind me.

How do I go about initiating this?
