What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? TN

Is it possible for a man to give up his rights to children and not be responsible for child support?

My husband has three children who reside in TN and he pays 600.00
bi-weekly child support which is deducted from his check and sent to the ex-wife and he also covers the children with health insurance. She has never worked and relies on this money for her support as well as the children's support but it is never enough. She allows no contact with him and the children and we live out of state. He cannot call because she will not let him speak to the children. She is always just causing problems. She writes letters to his family who resides in TN and even tells them if they have any contact with him, that they cannot see the children anymore either. She will not allow visitation and says she will never allow him to see them again.

We just stay away from that state so that we can live in piece of mind and not be hassled all the time. It is not worth going to court over and fighting for a few phone calls because it will never work.

She had gotten so bad calling and leaving ugly messages on our answering machine and sending letters that we just return all of her mail back to her and don't even open it and we have had to threaten to take legal action due to the messages she would leave on our answering machine.

Is it legal or even possible to totally give up rights and she wants to act like this and be this way, legally let her just have it all. My husband will never have a relationship with this children due to all of this from his ex and he cannot ever have a relationship with them without it including her and we just cannot do that.

If he gives up legal rights to his children to her, does he have to have her permission to do that and would that release the hold she has on him and make her legally responsible herself?

Without her being married (you never said this in your post) and the husband willing to adopt, no, he cannot just give up his rights.


The question I have is does your husband have court ordered visitation and if so, why the HELL is he putting up with this?
