What is the name of your state? california.my question is my husband is having lot of trouble with his fifteen year old what could he do to relinquish custody and no longer have to pay child support for him he plays games constantly with coming here
Oh it's simple...as long as your husband can figure out a way to travel back in time and avoid becoming the boy's father... Does that seem like a ridiculous notion? It may be as ridiculous as the idea of a parent attempting to relinquish custody so that he no longer has to pay child support on the grounds that his 15 yr old son plays "games."
Please...if it is somewhere in the CA State Statutes that this is grounds for a parent to get out of his/her financial responsibility to his/her child...it would be most enlightening. Here is a website for searching the CA State Statutes:

If your step-child is displaying behavior which you believe is troublesome...then perhaps consulting with a family counselor might be helpful. The boy's school counselor may be able to refer you. Turning your back on the boy is not a suitable solution. Your husband will forever be that boy's father. The boy will forever be your husband's son. How does a loving parent even phathom the idea of giving up on his/her child?
