if i sign off all rights to my son do i have to pay any child support?

Question

i live in rochester ny..

Answer 1

thats messed up man, never seeing ur son again so u don't have to pay child support? you should be ashamed

Answer 2

Only if the mother says no. When my ex gave up rights, I took him to court and he has to pay and it's a lot, even though he doesn't make good money. He makes $25K and pays $900.00 per month, when he misses, I take him to court and thow him in jail. He has been there 5 times in this last year. The next time he misses, it is for 5 years.
I hope if u do this, the judge nails you b.c u r a terrible father. It is your responsibility to pay child support and u r just thinking about yourself. Your child deserves better and u should not be in his life b.c all u care about is money.
Next time keep your _ _ _ _ in your pants and grow up

Answer 3

No, you don't. But before you do that, consider that those few years of child support you have to pay aren't worth nearly as much as the life you created and now choose to neglect. Everything in life we do has a consequence, and if you choose to believe that signing over parental rights means you no longer have an obligation to this child, you are sadly mistaken. When that child reaches the age of majority, that child will seek you out. That child will demand answers, and that child isn't going to understand why something as petty as a few dollars was chosen over maintaining a relationship with you. And you can dismiss me now, but honey, someday, somewhere, when you are least expecting it, someone is going to come knocking on your door that isn't as easy to dismiss.

Answer 4

No, but is that the only reason you want to sign off all your rights is to get out of paying child support? If that is the reason you might want to really think about what you are doing. Just remember what that means.........YOU Won't have any rights to see the child.

Answer 5

Of course you do! Even if you fought in a court for custody and lost and she got full legal and physical custody, you would still have to pay child support. The only way to get out of that responsibility is if your ex got married and her new husband wants to adopt. Do you love your son? If so, why wouldn't you want to support him?

Answer 6

You don't have any rights to see him anymore, therefore you don't pay support anymore.

Why would give up your rights to your son?
I hope it is because you are the worst possible role model a child could have. Not that you just don't want to be bothered with Support.

Answer 7

My dad terminated his rights to us when I was 12 and my sister was 3. I have to say, I am actually glad he did it because then my step-dad was allowed to adopt us.

My "real" dad still saw us when it was convient for him. Most of the time we went to DQ or pizza. He would buy us a treat and bring us home, wouldn't want to spend more than 2 hours with us. It would cut into his girlfriend time. Jerk.

Still to this day, I don't want anything to do with him. I love my step dad, and call him Dad. I call the other guy by his name now. He is not my Dad.

Also, I didn't have him walk me down the isle at my wedding because I thought that the man who actually wanted me and raised me should have that honor.

I hope you are a better man that my "dad". He is regretting his decisions to this day. He keeps trying to call me and be my friend. I wish he would just drop it and leave me alone.

Answer 8

The Court will not necessarily allow you to terminate your parental rights, especially if the judge suspects you are only doing so to avoid paying child support.

Why would you do that to your son?

Answer 9

No, you will not pay child support, but you will not have any rights to the child, DO NOT DO IT, I MADE THAT MISTAKE 3 YRS AGO, NOW I HAVE IT ALL TIED UP IN COURT TRYING TO GET THE KID BACK. YOUR SON NEEDS YOU!

Answer 10

Legally maybe not, but don't you think your son is worth a new pair of shoes every 3 months. I bet you were a great father.
