I think that that is something you and your wife would have to agree on together. The court isn't going to allow it if is just you trying to get out of paying -even if you think you can't afford it.
Legally you can give up all rights, in some states, without an adoptive father.
Though, you do realize that by giving up all rights you have no custody of the child and you have absolutely no legal right to see your child? If you feel that's okay, I can see why you are getting divorced.
I agree with beebop. If she dont want you to see your kid you wont. Do you want that? What kind of father would you be if you did that to that poor child. You know that most of the people in jail say that if only they had a father in their life things might have been different? Do you want that for your kid? How could you? Try working things out with the mom on how much you will pay every month. If you cant afford it you should have thought about that b4 you had kids. U laid down with your wife, why should she be the only one paying for your kid until they get 18? THAT AINT FAIR! How could you ever think like that, I think that that is just showing your character as a man and father and I can tell you that from my perspective it doesn't look good.
I don't know who you were talking to, or who told you that, but it is wrong, You will always have to pay child support on your children unless she remarries and someone adopts.
you can give up the rights for visitation and the rights to see the kids, but you can not merely give up your legal obligation to pay child support.
Even if you and her agree and don't go to court on it, if she ever has to get any public assistance, the state will then enforce chlld support on you to pay them back.
So expect to pay the state required amount for child support no matter what you do
Would there actually be men sitting in jail for not paying support if they could just "sign" it away.
After being that childs father for two years, you want to give that up over money? Give me a break and be a MAN! For goodness sakes, listen to the people who are posting, stay in that babies life and help her get through all of those tough years. Poor baby, how would youfeel if your daddy didn't want you? Money, money, money. How selfish is that. I might be able to understand this if I were an alien.
Fr_chuck is right. the courts will not just let you sign your rights away to avoid paying. the only way in the state of WI to be able to sign away rights and not pay child support is if you neglected your child for two full years. meaning no contact whatsoever, no money paid, no contact at all. At that time the childs mother could petition the court to have your parental rights taken away. this is for extreme cases where the father has never been in the childs life, because he walked away while the mom was pregnant. you on the other hand have been there for it all, dont be a jerk, work something out.

Hi!You can sign a papper giving up all rights to your 2 year old child when you like...but you cannot avoid your support obligation.The only way is your child to be adopted by another man.What is the meaning of "I don't have money to give..."-the court will impose you to pay child support on base your income.It does not matter how much money she likes.

Wow are you serious??? After what I have been through I know the frustration, but believe me its a big deal, its not like buying a cup of coffee.
How do you think your child will feel when they are old enough to understand what you did over money? To think that your own father sold out over child support payments would be devastating. Think this through - you may not realise it now, but you have an important place in your child's life whether you in any kind of a relationship with the mother or not. I work with children and many are from split families, if you think for a minute that kids forget about their dads just because they don't live with them or even see them, think again. Children's hearts and souls are forever scared by these kinds of actions.
