Im a single mother to a 4yr old little boy. His father and I were married but have been divorced for almost 4yrs. Since the divorce he rarely comes to see his son and child support is paid when he "finds time to pay it" I truely want him to sign over his rights and walk away, no questions asked. I wouldn't even ask for child support. Is there any way to have him sign over his rights or is this a no win situation???

You have to ask him and have the papers ready. That is the only way to have it done.
Good luck to you and your son.

unless u can prove him unfit n that is opening a whole can of worms cause they will investigate u also, I would suggest talking 2 him he may want 2 give up rights so he is no longer responsible 4 the child or support.as 4 support u can go 2 ur local child support enforcement office n get his wages garnished and if he does not pay they will take away his drivers license and in some states give him jail time. u really need 2 think about taking away his rights though it may seem like a good idea now how do u plan on explaining it 2 the child so that the child eventually does not come 2 resent u for taking away their father.
my best advice is go after the child support n let him have a relationship if he chooses if not then the child will grow up knowing its the fathers fault n not urs 4 the lack of relationship.

You can ask him to sign over his rights. He doesn't have to or you can go to court and force him to pay child support directly from his paycheck or tax refunds. If he signs over his parental rights your son will be in the no win situation. Divorce hurts him more than it does you. He doesn't understand why Daddy is not there for him. You and you alone know what you need. If you don't need your ex to pay child support so be it. If you don't want your ex to see your son that is your choice. Before I did anything I would get some solid professional counseling from your pastor/priest or a professional counselor. This is not professional counseling here on Yahoo.

Unless he is someone who doesn't care about his kid and would gladly walk away from his son to get out from under the financial burden, you will probably have a fight on your hands. It also depends on what your divorce decree states. If you have joint custody of your son, the only thing you can do is go back to court and try to prove that he is not involved or financially supporting your son as the decree states he must. You might be able to win that way, but you'd have to prove to the court that you can support your son alone.

Go to your local department of human services, depending on the state and if they take your case, which involving child support they usually do, they will take the child support out of his check each time he gets paid, and if he doesn't pay for 1 year, his parental rights can be evoked.

Most states would allow the courts to remove his Rights if the situation is as you say.

It takes more than that for the court's to accept him,JUST,signing his rights away. You relay need to talk to an Attorney.
