i do know that if the dad moves out of the USA it will be real hard for them to make the dad pay harder to find him that way lol

and plus say where u get ur info from if from a website plz gave the address ty for ur help with this

Answer 1

If the father signs his rights away, he won't have to pay child support. By doing this, however, he will never be able to see the child or be a part of its life. I think the woman has to agree to it, too.

Answer 2

Actually there is not a law about this. This is something you work out between the parents of the child. Lets say the mother doesn't want to deal with the father of her child anymore she can "suggest" to the father (If the father is a dead beat dad) that if he gives his rights she (the mom) will not pursue child support, and I believe this can be included in the paper when he gives his rights. Same can be done with the mother, bla bla bla.... Some people do it either because The mother(or father) doesn't want the father (or mother) to have any participation legally on decisions for their child, or because the mother (or father)wants to re married and their husbands want to adopt the child. But this is in no way something that the parent can do just to avoid pay child support if the other party doesn't want to. Both parents have to agree with that.

Answer 3

You can not get out of paying for child support, unless the mother does not file for child support or tells the judge that she doesn't want child support from the dad then you don't have to pay but if she's on welfare they will bhunt you down and make you pay every penny back. That I know directly from the attorney that handled my child custody case dad was willing to sign over custody if I promised not to collect child support and my attorney said I can sign them papers all day long it doesn't stand up in court. I also heard if the child is adopted my your ex's new souse you no longer are responsilbe for paying child support. That I only heard though.

Answer 4

I don't think a man on this earth who is against abortion should be for an opt out law. I suppose some of them really do only care about themselves. I think this kind of thing would make people pay because they have morals. I guess the whole country is going in that swing. I am against abortion (unless its rape or serious medical reasons) and opt out. Making a law like that would be against so many of the women who morally COULDN'T live with the decision of having an abortion. Many fems believe in the right but say they wouldn't have one themselves. Sooner or later men will get this right and that is one of the many reason that I am not a feminist. I don't believe they are looking at the whole picture when it comes to women and men in this issue. Feminist want to push their weight around on this and its going to effect EVERY woman, not just the feminists. Oh oops and NO it would not lower the value of fathers more. It would probably increase it. Many single mothers know the value of a father. Many children do as well. See how many woman will understand after a law like that came into play.

Answer 5

I have been in this position and consulted a lawyer.

You can sign away your rights BUT if this is not sufficient evidence that the child will be financially taken care of then you may still have to pay child support. A judge can terminate your parental rights and still make you pay.

If this question is for you then you will want to consult an attorney before you do anything.

Answer 6

If you surrender your parental rights, you sever all legal rights and obligations to this child, which ends any need for child support. However, this must be agreed up on by BOTH parents AND the court. You can't just sign something on a notepad at the bar and be done - this is a serious (and irreversable) legal matter.

This is done when the child is being adopted, including adoption by a step-parent. Below is a sample form from NH which describes how it works - this is similar in most states.

Answer 7

If the father gives up his parental rights, then he cannot be forced to pay child support. That is the end of his legal obligation to the child. He is no longer responsible for the child in any way....not even for child support. However, he is a low life SOB not to take on responsibility for his own blood. The child has to suffer bc he/she has a pathetic father who is immature, and should be sterile so that he is no longer able to have children. He should not even be allowed to have sex any longer. For every deadbeat father out there, they should just castrate them all at the time that they do not take care of their responsibilities. They were grown enough to lay in the bed with her knowing the likeliness that she could become pregnant, so he should be grown enough to take care of his child that he was 1/2 responsible for to begin with.

If the father of the child has legal custody of the child, or someone other than the mother has legal custody, then yes, the mother can sign her rights away as well. If not, and no family member is willing to take custody of the child, then the child will be placed for adoption.

Answer 8

I kind of hate myself for answering this, because child support SHOULD be paid... the only person hurt by signing those papers is the kid, who happens to be the ONE person in the whole situation who is completely blameless for what's going on......

You can contact a lawyer and sign over all your parental rights. This means that you don't pay child support, but it also means that you don't get visitation and you don't get tax breaks or child tax credits, etc. You are nothing more than a strand of DNA to the child. You do not have parental rights, but you also do not have parental obligations.

And it's permanent. If you decide to sign over your parental rights, it's the last word on the subject.

Oh, and it's selfish and cowardly.

Answer 9

I don't know. I think that if a dad gives up his parental rights the mom can still make him pay child support. But women shouldn't use kids as pay checks.

Answer 10

When one parent(mother or father) signs away their rights they no longer have to pay child support and the parents with custody decides they will also no longer see the child, I know from experiance, Im the step mom to a 4 year old, his biomom signed away her rights and is no longer allowed to see him and does not have to pay child supprt, and also I will be allowed to adopt him therefore making him legally my son.
