My sons father would like to relinquish his rights to our 3 yr old son. Quite frankly he is too lazy to get the paperwork himself, but I was wondering in the state of North Carolina, how would we go about doing this without an attorney? Neither one of us has the funds to hire a lawyer. He says he just feels nothing for our son (all of a sudden) and thinks that is only the right thing to do. Please help me if you can.

If you use the search feature you will find this has been asked and answered hundreds of times. Even if your ex relinquishes all rights to custody and visitation he is still responsible for child support until/unless someone else adopts the child.

Basically he can't and you can't, I would assume part of this is because he things he gets out of child support maybe by doing this.

He does not have to use his rights, he does not have to call, he does not have to visit, he does not have to write, he can drop off the face of the earth, you can modify the custody agreement to give him almost no visitation at all, if they judge will sign it. But he can not just give up his rights.

And even if he did ( expect to allow for an adoption) he still has to pay child support.

Even more there is a sticky at the top of this forum that answers this oft asked question.
