I have a friend who believes that she isn't made to be a mother. The father currently has full custody. She wants to relinquish all of her rights to him because I believe she doesn't want to pay child support anymore. Doesn't the father have to agree to this as well? What are her options? I agree it isn't the more honorable thing to do, but I'm just trying to show her what her options are.How does someone go about relinquishing their parental rights to the other parent?
She can't. She can sign over full custody, but it does not eliminate her financial obligation to her children.How does someone go about relinquishing their parental rights to the other parent?
In general absent an adoption or legal court proceeding to terminate her rights the mother is on the hook for child support, no matter what she signs,
If it was so easy to get out of paying child support by the simple process of agreeing to relinquish rights every dead beat parent in the US would choose such an avenue but that鈥檚 not how the system works
