I have always heard that in Texas you cannot sign your rigths away. Is this really true or just some cowboy braggin'

First what do you mean by "sign it away"

If the other custodial parent is remarried and they want to adopt, you can sign your rights away in all states.

Also all states have rules for the custodial parent to take the rights away for some reasons.

There is no place that the non custodial parent can merely sign over their rights. If they could, people would not be sitting in jail for non payment

What rights? This is not on the family law board so I'm not sure it relates to child support/custody/visitation.

Sorry- I did not mean in connection with custody issues. I meant more along the lines of those leagalize paragraphs that say you will not hold the other party liable for anything. For example- when you let your child particiapte in any activity you always haveto sign something saying you will hold hrmless those in charge.

You cannot under any circumstances waive your legal rights and that includes your right to sue - for example, many people who have trampolines ask others to sign a waiver before using the trampoline. Whether a person signs or not, the person has a right to sue.

As a parent you are almost always liable, not really any way around it, child goes out and breaks a window, they can sue the parents, ** been there on that one right Jon.
