Can a parent sign away his rights of their child? And if so are they still required to pay child support? I live in NJ.Thanks

If he has an order for visitation she cannot prevent him from seeing his son.rexx674 said:Thanks...my friend's ex wants him to sign away all rights to his son and continue to pay child support..she has been EXTREMELY difficult to deal with and he feels the baby is better off without him and seeing all the fighting that takes place. If he is paying he has every right to see his son..she can not keep him from the baby then? Only if she has the baby legally adopted. I think I just answered my own question..thanks again
Let her petition all she wants.. she cannot have her cake and eat it too.. he can contact the district clerk at the courthouse that the original orders are filed in to get a copy of the original decree.rexx674 said:Its a sticky situation though, where he had signed and visition/support agreement and supposedly the papers were filed, but he has no record..the baby is 2 1/2 and he has never been able to take the child out the her home, even though the agreement stated 2 overnights a week. Now she wants him totally out of the baby's life and continue to pay. He has ALWAYS paid support (maybe 3 days late) & doctor's bills, etc...he wants to give up and not fight and I think he's nuts. She says she's taking him to court to sign away rights..is that even possible? He's working on getting a lawyer, but cant afford one really..not a very good situation. Thanks again for the help!!
