Even if he signs off the rights to his child he would still have to pay child support. He just won't have any rights to make any decisions or things like that...which it sounds like you'd be better off that way anyway.

No, he has to pay child support. You will have to get a DNA test to prove he is the father. Go to court (county) and file for child support. They will pay for the test. You don't need a lawyer, don't waste your money, even if he has one. It is a simple process that will require a couple of court appearances. Don't worry, he is being an a#$h(le, the court will be on your side.

I really don't know but I am sorry to say this, but that is how most men get out of paying child support. And the law protects them. He just does not have the balls to be a man and step up to the plate.

If he is the biological father, then there is no way for him to get our of child support. Signing over his rights doesn't excuse him from child support.

No. He can refuse to have anything to do with the child, but he can't refuse to pay child support. Go to your local DA's office and start child support proceedings now!

He can't unilaterally abandon his child or his responsibilities to help support him. See an attorney about a paternity action to set the child support amount.
