    Relinquishing your rights does not mean that you will be free of financial obligations, it only means that you will not be able to make decisions about their welfare. Your ex has had custody for only around 2 months and you are ready to give up?

    There is more to this story that you are not telling us. Think of what it will do to these children emotionally and mentally to think that one parent does not want them anymore.

    Do you want to live with that heartbreak for the rest of your life?

    Why do you want to give up any rights, just don't go visti, just don't try and do anything in their life, the court can't force you to visit and see the children anyway.

    And of course if you don't love your children no one will make you see them or visit them. That is all the rights you can have.

    If you don't want to pay child support, that is not your right, that is your obligation and you can't give that away. You will have to keep paying child support even if you give up your visit rights and the such.

    Divorce and child custody is tough, but why don't you want to visit and see your children?
