Wants to give up his rights and not pay child support before having the baby

hi I have a question. I want to have a child with someone but he told me that we have to sign papers before we try to conceive so that he doesn't have to pay child support or be apart of the baby's life can that be done.

In a word - no. You can't waive your rights ... or your child's rights.

Why does this sound like a good idea to you? You'd be better off with an anonymous sperm donor and he also - if he has no interest in having a child - is taking a risk that at some time in the future you'll change your mind and go after him for support - for 18 to 21 years. Or beyond.

Im still married but we are separated and I have a child with another man

If I am still legally married but have been separated for over 2 years will my husband be responsible for child support for a child that isn't his if the baby's father doesn't sign the birth certificate.

I agree with Judy, why would you "want to have a child" with somebody that is telling you he doesn't want to be a father?? I don't know how old you are, but I'm sure if you wait a little while, someone worthy of fathering a child with you will come along.

I am not quit following who's who but
You can file for child support and he can deny he is the dad. Then try to get a paternity test to prove his denials are wrong

Do not put your husband's name in birth certificate ever!
Leave father's name in birth certificate blank, and file for paternity suit.

Why should your husband be responsible for child support for a child that is not his?

There are a couple states where the husband can be held liable, unless this is a legal seperation ( formal seperation papers done) But you need to file for support from the real father, anything else is legally and morally wrong

If I read your other post correctly you are considering having a child with a "friend" who wants to sign off his paternity rights and you think it's a good idea?

I think these threads should be combined because one explains the other.

It doesn't help anyone - the OP, the people donating their time and trying to be helpful - when half of the story is posted here and the other half posted there. At best it's somewhat misleading.

Because she's married to someone else - there's another question on another thread. (I think I just answered my own question.)
