i want to support him

[honeybee]

my husband has a ex wife that wants him to relinquish all rights because she wants this new man to raise him and the child to forget about his father we have not had contact with her in 6 years she doesn't want child support because she says we cannot give him the life he deserve(she has money and we are barely getting by) this new man has his own business and is providing him well. She isn't leaving us an option because she says she will fight so we can not see him. All I want to know is if he signs his rights away, will he have to pay child support if she doesn't want him to. I am from tx. or is it better that he doesn't do anything and keep his rights.I just want to support him in whatever choice he make but i want to know facts on what is going to happen.

wow...really? i think he surely should NOT give up his rights. That's the LAST thing to do. EVER. I know she says he can't see his child, but it's NOT Up to her. If you go to the family court and fill out the papers to file a petition against her. You need to tell your husband/whatever that he should NOT have listened to her. She can't stop him. Just bc she has money doesn't mean ****. Unless you're doing drugs,etc NO judge is going to give a crap if she's loaded & you're not. THIS IS NOT IMPORTANT. Obviously bc she's being a stupid ***** & his kid hasn't seen him in 6 yrs. How did you just take this laying down? He needs to go to the library, the internet, etc to look up custody laws in tx. good luck. write if you have any more ?s.

In TEXAS!

A divorce decree, settles the issue of custody. Since, you cannot unwind a divorce decree, custody can only be ammended, it can go back and forth, but the courts quickly tire of it. Courts generally will not entertain Forefiet of parental rights without it being voluntary and for good reason like LIFE WITHOUT POSSIBILITY OF PAROLE or deportation, or flight from justice.
