Signing over rights between unmarried couple (17 and 18 yo)
My boyfriend is 18 years old and when he was 17 he got a 16 year old girl pregnant. Their baby is now 4 months old. While this girl was pregnant she physically attacted me and my boyfriend. And she broke into he's mother's house while he lived there and stole a car seat that he bought for he's car for the baby. She went into labor and a friend of mine who is also friends with her found out and told me so that I could tell my boyfriend. She refused to let him be with her at the brith, and gave the baby her last name rather than he's. She has only allowed him to see the baby ONCE since she was bron and afterthat refused to return he's phone calls. And recently she keyed my car out of anger. My boyfriend wants to sign over he's rights so that he and I can move on with our lives and get married in January of next year. I have told him countless times that no matter what happens I am by he's side, and that what ever choices he makes about this, or anything else, I will eternally love and support him and he has chosen to give up all rights to he's child.
I know that when he signs over he's rights they can still make him pay child support for the child, but I want to know, with these facts at hand, is there any way possible that he can sign over he's rights with out having to pay child support. He wants to have no contact or connection with the mother or child what so ever. He just wants to start fresh and leave he's past behind him.
Also, I do know know this for a fact, but my boyfriend told me, and he's ex did not deny it at all, He's ex paid for a motel room where she had sex with another man while she was 5 months pregnant. And she tried to kill her self while she was pregnant. Not to mention that a few years ago, before she moved here (and this she told to me) she spent a stay in 3 different mental hospitals for self mutalation and trying to kill herself.
Please, can some one help us? He's lawyer has not helped at all because the attorny is in he's mothers name, even though he paid for him, and he and he's mother no longer speak, in fact, he has had her banned from being on our property due to her constant harassment. (She wants him to be with he's ex, rather than me because of the baby)
PLEASE HELP!
