What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Wisconsin
My daughter is 6 years old. Her father has pretty much abandoned her, for her entire life. He hasn't seen her for 2 years. And when he did see her in previous years it would only be for a couple of hours a MONTH. It was always forced, and could tell both him and my daughter were very uncomfortable. As my daughter is getting older, she understands and realizes the reality of what's going on, and doesn't want anything to do with him.
Now him and I have touched base, and talked about him signing over rights. If he does so, I agreed to sign over the child support rights. I am single. I have read that if one parent signs over the rights the parent with the rights has to have someone there to take on the fathers financial obligation. Although I make 20k more a year then her father does. With or without his $74/bi-weekly I am the one who pays my mortgage, my bills, gives her nice things, and so on. So is it possible that we can go about this, without me having someone in my life to take on his "obligation?"
Anyone that knows the Wisconsin law and knows anythign about this, I would appreciate hearing from you, or at least get a start on what we have to do next.
Thanks!
