He may have given up his right to have a say in what happened with her. But he hasn't given up his responsibilities. Not according the the law anyway.

He may have given up his parental responsibilities if he is not helping support his child, but that has nothing to do with giving up his parental rights. Sometimes a Court will determine that a parent is such a bad parent that they loose their parental rights by Order of the Court, that is a very different thing and is done after a long legal process.
Social Services may be able to help you collect child support and you should immediately seek to do that. They will force him to help you and if he doesn't, he will loose all kinds of privileges including his drivers' license.

In Britain a parent cannot give up parental responsibility without going thru court and then both parents have to agree to it. That usually only happens if the parent with residence of the child wants their new partner to adopt the child and this can't happen without the other's consent, which is tied in with parental responsibility. Morally he may have given up but he cannot "give up" financial responsibility

giving up parental rights isn't as easy as just saying i don't want to know her anymore or signing papers if he can just walk away from something as precious as a child then hes not much of a man at all in order for him to give up his rights there has to be a man in your life being willing to accept them granted you cant force him to be a part of her life and you shouldn't try because shes the one that is going to get hurt in the long run if you do just move on some where out there there is a man who will accept you and her both

Ok how old is the child? now if the father tries to come back later in the childs life then don't allow it the court will side with you if you have that letter. Although hes given up being a father chase him for money - he can't give up that right!

sounds like he's a jerk, but no he hasn't legally given up his parental rights or responsibilities ok. he still has to legally pay child support even if he never wants to see the child again. giving up ones parental rights isn't as easy as some people think it is.

he thinks he has. but you are still in titled to receive child support. He can only give up his rights with legal paper work. If you want nothing from him, money or visitation. You must do the legal paper work to take his responsibilities (rights) from him. If not he can come back years from now. That may not be good for anyone.

I have to say Hollyoak, you are a lot on the stupid side aren't you? you post a question like this one, but also send another one like this " My wife left me and our two children 17 and 15 for another man, what rights does she have to our joint house?" Now, I think you are playing around with fire here, many people are in this exact position as your question, but your just fooling around, didn't you think you avatar would give you away, try doing a sensible question next time and grow up.

Do you share this account? Because two hours ago you asked
"My wife left me and our two children 17 and 15 for another man, what rights does she have to our joint house?"
