Signing over Parental Rights/ Custody Court Case

not every single parent with a child deserves support. I know a guy who was in a bad place in his life and got caught up on drugs..meanwhile the now single mother took advantage of his drug addiction because she had a crush on the guy. He already had a family that was away at the time..and she took adventage of his loneliness and became what i guess you would call his drug whole. anyways...after his family came back and found out about the affair they moved away. When they left he cleaned up his act to reconsile with his family. He told the mistress that he wanted to be with his family...and she told him she was pregnant. She told him that she was going to terminate the pregnancy...but then she saw that he was going to leave her so she trapped him with the unwanted child...claiming she had nowhere eles to go(which was a lie.)..She made his life miserable...he wanted to be with his familyand told her all the time that he did not want to be with her. finally he broke free of her and reconciled with his family. The mistress then went to file child suppot. As if it wasnt enough to trap him for 2 years she had to go and hit him with support for the remaining 16 years. bottom line ...not everyone deserves support. you might think that he should still have to pay...that the child shouldnt have to suffer...but ts not fair that the guy has to suffer either. The girl chose to keep the kid just to trap and spite him...well then she should support her child on her own.

If you only knew how common that scenario is. It gets played out every single solitary day.

Soap operas romanticize it. Family Court encourages and promotes it. This is yet another example of why the laws regarding "family" need to be changed, reformed. There is no such thing as "family" court anymore.

I completely agree with you. I don't believe any unwed parent should receive the same benefits as that of a married couple. But, unfortunately, this country loves to be in debt thanks to the people with no moral compass in life.

According to all these posts, there's no reason to even sign over your rights. If you still have to pay child support anyways, then you might as well keep your rights. If you don't want to see your children or be involved at all, then just don't go see them. Sometimes guys don't like to see their children if they don't get to be involved with the raising of them. Who wants to see their kids when they can't stand the way they act because of the way they're being raised.

I am a single mom and I make it without the child support and without the contact of my ex-husband. My mom did this same thing to my dad and when I was 21 and finally found him it literally sickend me that he paid all that money and never saw me... just thinking it's rather selfish on the mother's end.

If it has been years and the father has never attempted to contact that child you would understand. Their are many fathers out there who don't give a damn about their children; they will always try to find some excuse to justify it but the truth is in their actions. As a single mom who has never stopped the father from seeing my son (our son) I often ask myself , why don't I just have him sign over his rights? Sometimes it is just a mother being selfish but there are other times its just a mother being protective. You would understand that feeling especially when your child asks you " Why doesn't daddy want to see me? Why doesn't he love me?".

Frankly, the State's interest lies not in your welfare, nor that of the children, but in making sure that the State does not have to support the children. So your current husband would have to agree to be on the hook for child support if you current marriage breaks up. Your ex would probably still be obligated to pay back support, unless he negotiates this away in return for giving up his rights.l

.......... I have a question ... I got a girl pregnant. I told her that we might be doing wrong bringing this child into this world.. Reason being is we have no jobs . I dont have an education. I have no skills except music. I grew up in a gangster lifestyle and have done alot of drugs. I have quit doing drugs for a long time now. Now I have a drinking problem and I cant stop smoking marijauna. Sometimes when im mad I find myself acting my old self .some crazy paranoid gangster. Im really scared for myself and dont see a change. After watching my girlfriend smoke weed for half her pregnancy , I began to get deppressed so much I would break things when I got mad thinking shes harming the baby. Well she had the baby and the doctors found thc in her system, I dont know if its becuase we are in California they didnt care and said its o.k.... we wont take your baby from you. Im so lost right now. I cant get a job and cant even pass my g.e.d test. I have weekend job that pays 10 n hour but only weekends six hours a day , 120 every Sunday. I end spending all that money on boose n food. I dont care much on how I dress latley so I never buy clothes... right now I really dont think im capable of raising a kid. ? I dont to be a burden on her life. But me and her mom are not working anymore I cant believe the things she would do when she was pregnant. Well the baby is ok if your wondering shes really healthy, I am glad for that. But cannot come to terms with her mother. Im researching on signing over my parental rights... I dont care about child support . I will work my weekend job and pay. But I cannot go on living this way and want away from the mother and am incapaple of taking custody for myself.
