The father of my child suggested I put him on child support. Only because he thought he would have control over how much he would be dishing out. He shows me little respect and only wants to see his daughter twice a week while he lives two traffic lights away from us. He never wants to help with keeping her so I can go to school. He picks herup late afternoons and drops her off in the wee hours of the morning with asking me what my schedule is. I want him to sign over his right. I am the full-time parent and he doesn't want to help. And that fine with me. But, How can I get him to sign over his rights once and for all. Would getting an attorney help? I would like to sit down with an attorney to come up with a plan so I don't have to deal with him. But who do I call in my area? The Conway, AR 72034 area that is.

Forget about getting him to sign over his rights. I really don't understand where people get the idea that a child is like a piece of property that they can just sign over to someone. It ain't going to happen.

Only a court can terminate parental rights and courts are VERY reluctant to do so. Generally they will only do so to pave the way for an adoption of if the parent represents a danger to the child. Neither of which appear to be the case here. Save your money if that's what you want to try for.

However, if you want him to pay child support and to have a visitation schedule that is more structured, then go to court and ask for that.
