Legal Question in Family Law in Nevada

pressed to terminate
My question is a little complicated, so I will start as best I can. My ex-girlfriend wants me to terminate my parental rights to our child (I live in a different state, we are estranged, etc.). Since I was not present when the child was born and have never been genetically linked to the child in a legal way is this actually necessary? Since we were never married and I wasn't there for the birth of the child my name should not appear on the birth certificate (at least that is my understanding) and in order to terminate my parental right I would first have to be established as the genetic father, isn't this skipping a step or two? I am being sent legal forms to fill out and am just not sure how to proceed. I am perfectly willing to honor the wishes of my ex, but I am unsure that this is a necessary step.

Please let me know.

Re: pressed to terminate

If she says that you are the natural father, you are it until you prove you are not be genetic testing.
