I have a daughter who is 6 yrs old.. the last time I saw her was when she was 3.. I pay my child support FIRMLY.. Her mother doesn't let me see her because she is now married and doesn't want problems... I have 2 more chiildren with my fiancé and it is hard to make money paying so much CS... Is there a way for me to sign my rights over to her mom and step dad.. I love her but why pay support for a child I will never get to see.. I live in Oklahoma and don't kow the laws... her mom tells her bad things about me.. like when I call she just says.. "mommy doesn't like me talking to you.. it's been 3 yrs.. and I feel I shouldn't have to let my kids I have with me suffer for a sibling they have met one time... I really need some Advice I've tried being nice but my faith goes so far...

First the mother can't stop you from having them with you and visiting them. What you do is tell her you get the visits given you by court, if she does not, you take her back to court to have the judge rule her in contempt. You arae not fighting for your rights, don't sound like you really want to be with her very badly.
If the new husband wants to adopt, then you can sign over your rights and the child support will end when they adopt the child

As the parent you have the legal right to visit with your child. You would have to petition int the state that she lives in but you would be granted the right to visit with her, first there and then if all goes well eventually she will be able to come home with you. However if you want to terminate your parental rights the mother has to start the proceeding in her home state.
