Hello and thanks in advance. I am a father of a beautiful 4 year old girl. I have taken care of her from day one. I have custody of my little girl. Now here is my question. My ex-wife has not seen our little girl in almost 4 years. She does not want anything to do with her does not pay child support and wants to give me her parental rights. She pretty much has told me if I buy and give her stuff I can have them. I was wondering if there is a document I can have her sign cause I know she is going to keep asking me for things for her rights.

First of course paying her for exchange for rights to a child is basically illegal in many areas ( so depending on where you live, what you have described is a crime)

But also there is no "paper" it will have to go though the court, and the court is not likely to allow her to merely sign over her rights, unless you have a new wife who may want to adopt.

Why is she not paying chid support, You do have a child support order??

And you said you have custody, is this by court order?

Honestly, I think you're best bet is to take her to court. You'd get full custody of you daughter and most likely she would be paying child support. I'm more than positive a judge isn't going to place a 4 year old girl with her mother who hasn't wanted anything to do with her for over 4 years.

I don't understand how ANYONE could just leave their child. Ecspecially when she carried her for 9 months<3
Good Luck!!

This is a Law board and our answers here must be accurate according to the law.

There is nothing to indicate that the OP would receive full custody. If a parent chooses not to exercise their rights, that is their decision - it does not mean that the courts will remove them.
