my husband is going through a nasty child support battle and the girls attorny served us the papers today and they are trying to pin him with so many things it is not funny :mad: . We already have a child and can hardly afford the one we have. We really want nothing to do with them is there anyway he can sign away his parental rights :confused: . Idaho.

No. A court will not let your bf terminate his parental rights simply to escape paying child support. There are guidelines stating how much of his income can be used to pay child support. Did you have your baby before or after his other children?

We had our child before she did. And we dont want to sign his parental rights away simply to get out of paying child support it is more that all she does is cause drama and we are trying to get away from the drama and we really cant afford another child.

What do you mean by pin him with so many things? Has paternity been established? If so the only thing that she can make him do is pay support. She can not force him to have visitation unless he would like to spend time with his child and second if his place of employment offers insurance he would have to carry insurance on the child as well. There is no way he can sign away rights unless there is a step parent willing to adopt.

Sorry, but if paternity has been established, he will be paying support. He does not have to have anything to do with her or the child (although, unless there is some reason he would be a negative in his child's life, I think that is unfair to the child. :( The child didn't have a choice as to who his or her parents are.) He can have his wages garnished and basically ignore them. (God, that sounds awful :eek: ) Just act like the money paid in support each month does not exist. Simply budget your expenses without it.

I don't mean to sound harsh, but I truly hope that his desire to have nothing to do with the baby is not because you can't handle the reality of the situation. (that sounds awful, too! :o I couldn't figure out a way to say that with grace.)

Geez, I wonder how many faces I can get in one post!

It sounds like paternity has been established. As the other two posters stated, the father can't relinquish his rights until a stepparent is willing to adopt. It doesn't sound like there is a step parent in the picture as of yet, therefore your husband will have to support his child until then.

I understand your anger. Your husband has dipped out on you, but you must realize that this is a child he's trying to throw away not a toy. Children deserve support from both parents emotionally as well as financially.

Hopefully your assets are separate from his because they will be looking at everything.

What if both parents agree on the father terminating his rights? :confused:
