Am I making the right decision in giving up my parental rights to my children?
I have 3 children from my first husband and 2 from my current husband now. My ex abandoned me and my 3 children when we where going through our divorce for 3 years. He then decided to be a Hero to my 3 children and brain washed them that if they follow him that he'll buy them each 4-wheelers. He hired a good lawyer... had my children taken away from me and then I was slapped with a $534.00 a month child support which was never used on my children and went to my ex's wife to support her bingo addiction. I remarried, moved on with my life and had 2 beautiful little girls. One of my daughter was born asthmatic and eczema. When she turned 5 in 2003, her eczema worstend and left me no choice but to resign from work to take care of her. Till this day, she cannot be exposed to heat too long and getting on the school bus was a restriction the doctors gave her. I stopped paying child support in 2003 when I resigned from work and since then, my ex has stopped my children from visiting me. Now he has taken me back to court for child support arrears and I am forced to go job searching. I tried to explain my daughter's condition to the judge but no luck. They claim that the law is concerned of the three children and will not give credit to my other 2 children. My husband now is currently ill and will soon be unable to work for 1 year because of the highly dosages of medication that he will be taking. I also asked the judge who will support my family if I have to pay child support to my ex who is earning over $25.00 per hour and eats better meals than I do.. They flat out responded that there concern in the 3 children and not my immediate family. Is it wrong for me to think that it's better for me to give up my parental rights to my 3 children since I've already been treated that way since 2003? I really need some advice and I hope that I will get it here... I'm desperate and will try anything..
