If the other parent is married and agrees to a stepparent adoption? You can terminate your parental rights as part of that stepparent adoption.

If not?

Nope.

HOWEVER, you would still be required to pay any past-due support.

<SIGH> Another winner who thinks that simply terminating their parental rights will get them out of paying child support.

If it were that easy, EVERYONE would be doing it.

I have just one thing to say about that... Garlic mashed potatoes as finger food.

Actually, that is exactly what my daughter's biomom did two days after kiddo was born. She gave up her rights at the "baby home" and had no further support responsibility, ever. That however, was not under US Law.

Facepalm *Sorry, nextie... but why then, if its not US Law, is this even relevant to this forum?

Good grief people. IF YOU HAVE SEX TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. If you dont' want to take responsibility DO NOT HAVE SEX.

Seriously. If you want the pleasure without the responsibility, MASTURBATE.

I have to say... I was also going to post that nextie's post was pretty much irrelevant. Sorry, hon!

I was just pointing out that it is NOT incomprehensable that some people may have heard that a parent can choose to give up parental rights and not pay CS.

My nephew's biomom (and eventually biodad) In California did the same thing. US Law. So there are parents in the US and elsewhere who give up their parental rights and don't pay CS. The question was a short one line question, and yes, there are specific scenarios in which it can occur.

Vasectomy worked for me. Well, it did after the doctor did it a SECOND time.

And even vasectomies are only 99.9% .. as are tubal ligation. The only thing 100% is celibacy or self stimulation (i.e. masturbation).

I think I am going to have to start a PRO MASTURBATION Movement.

Menopause also works nicely.

I really like how the second half of your title answers your question, down to the CAPS and exclamation points!
