Can he terminate his parental rights and keep me from getting child support?

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
I had a kid 15 years ago for a guy. I want to find out if he really is the father and if so i want child support. He want to terminate his parental right because he did not even know about the child until about 3 years ago.

It is not LAW.

So you robbed the child of their father, and the father of the child for at least the first dozen years of their life? And the only thing you see wrong there is that he's not thrilled about becoming the child's parent AFTER having been denied any part in raising them? The ONLY role you want dad to play is to pay?

I am not sure the actual law. but there should def. be one that makes mothers pay for neglecting to inform fathers or possible fathers that they could have a child.

You are not only hurting them and yourself.. but the innocent.

However I was told that just because you give up your rights to your child does not get you out of supporting them.

And even if you are granted support, it won't be retroactive to birth.

IMHO- If one can't get to be a parent retroactively, one shouldn't get to collect retroactively, in cases where mom never notified dad or lied/mislead about parentage. Matter of fact, robbing a parent of their rightful place in a child's life, such as when a mom just merrilly pretends the newer guy in her life is dad because she'd rather have new guy than old guy around, should result in consequences. How would a mom like it if years of her relationship with her child were blocked because Dad now liked someone else better and didn't want to have this mom be the mom?

I'd steal that for a sig, but the M-mod would make me change it.
