    Why don't you want him to pay child support? How do you plan on supporting your child??

    Signing away rights does not make him not responsible for child support or all the courts would be full of dads that do not pay child support. Signing Off From Parental Rights

    Do you have a court order for child support ? If not you need to get one and then if issues come up depending on the state you live in you can get help from your local child support division.

    Whatever makes you think that relinquishing his rights is the best thing? The best thing is to go after him for child support!

    And if you tried reading some the hundreds of threads on this issue, you would have learned that the courts are not going let him sign over his rights

    If you make him sign over his rights and your Son grows up and wonders why dad never wanted anything to do with him. He finds out mom made him sign over rights and you suddenly become the bad guy for keeping Dad away. Signing over rights does nothing unless you plan on another man adopting him.

    You are letting this dead beat dad, convince you of way to many things,

    First he does not have any rights, unless you have been to court and he has visitation rights issued by the court, then he will have rights.

    Next your child is suppose to be getting support, it is not money for you, but money for the child.

    So you take him to court, you get physcial custody of the child, get child support held out of his check and put this man in his place.

    I would still like to know how you plan to support him on your own?
    Do you have a good secure job?

    Go to the local child support office in your town and talk to them about helping you collect child support from this guy. They will be delighted to help you, trust me. Don't let him keep having a free ride. He helped make your child, didn't he? Well, he has a financial responsibility whether he likes it or not to contribute to the child's support. AND it does not matter if he has a job or not, his support will have to be paid or the judge will be sure to give him some dandy penalties.

    My Children's father is like 15,000 dollars behnd in support on my oldest and 8,000 on the younger. He just got arrested for not paying a court order 150.00 on each of them by a certain date. He has to spend 30 days on each child. While he is there we are going to try and get Writ of attachment on him and keep him there until all support is paid in full.
