    My future husband has 3 children that he does not see. He does pay child support for them however. He hasn't seen them in 5 years. Recently received work from them that they do not want anything to do with him. Can he sign over his rights?

    No, and no and no,

    A dead beat husband or boyfirned or babies daddy can not just sign over his rights. And even if his rights get taken away, perhaps for long term prison or abuse he may still have to pay child support.

    So file for custody of your child, get a child support order and move on.

    In one word, no. If the mother of the children has a husband who is willing to adopt the children, then he can sign for them to be adopted. Otherwise, no.

    Even if he COULD "sign over his rights" he would still be responsible for child support unless they were adopted by someone else.

    If he hasn't seen them in 5 years why bother to sign over rights (even if it were possible). He doesn't exercise the rights he has so in theory it doesn't matter either way.

    Walking away from his children sounds like a good idea to you?

    First its not a good idea to piggyback your question on someone else's. This can lead to confusion. You should start a new thread. So I've moved your question to its own thread.

    I have to shake my head in wonderment though at your post. You opened a thread on terminating rights. In that thread was a couple of responses that basically answered your question. One of those response was one of mine that pointed you to hundreds of other threads in this forum that all say the same thing. Yet you proceeded to post the same question that has been asked and answered hundreds of times.

    So I have to ask why? What about your situation do you think is different from the hundreds of others that already asked the same question?
