Relinquishing Parental Rights ?

[jar17013]

If I sign over my parental rights am I obligated to pay child support? My estranged boyfriend and I don't reside together and he's receiving temporary cash assistance extc. for him and my son which means they automatically file for child support on his behalf. I am unemployed and largely indebt(mostly because of boyfriend), and as far as I know, inelegible for food or medical assistance on my son's behalf where I reside.

You can not sign over parental rights unless there is someone else to adopt or the child is financially secure.

Why does he have physical custody ?

She is willing to sign away her parental rights....He's right, you cannot sign away your rights..Unless there is a "Mother" willing to accept responsibility for a precious young child and give that child what he/she deserves. If that angel comes along, and she adopts this child, then no you wouldn't have to pay any support whatsoever. Until then, you are responsible for this child. I pray for an angel to come along and fulfill your "request" to eliminate this child from your life...A child deserves a Mother.

Own personal interest.. always interested when someone wants to walk away from a child.. nothing in this world could make me walk away from mine and in the unlikely event that me and my wife seperated, I would hound her to the ends of the earth if I was denied access or visitation..

So, just curious

I know LeagleBeagle...I'm in one of those moods today...Maybe I shouldn't be posting. But anyhow, I am curious to know "why" should would ever want to do such a thing. Because I am like you...I would NEVER give up my child for ANYTHING. If I didn't have any money, I would work 2 jobs so I did..If I didn't have a home, I would accept charity to give my child a roof over his head. (Live with someone) I just would do ANYTHING for my child, and if it meant me going without or struggling, then that's what I would be doing. I know in some cases, giving up a child is the best thing and there are exceptions....But this seems like it's all about money. I believe that a child needs both parents, but I FIRMLY believe that a child NEEDS a Mother most of all..and I know some may disagree but that is how I feel. I won't ramble, I guess this post just hit me the wrong way..As being a Mother myself...It's the most important thing I will EVER do in my life...and I would have to die before I gave that up.
