What is the name of your state? Connecticut
My ex-husband and I share joint custody of our ten year old daughter. We had an amicable divorce three and half years ago. I have wanted another child for years and after discussing it for two years we decided to have another child together. My ex-husband does not want any legal or financial responsibility for the child. He only wants to be a father to the child emotionally. (i.e. - the child will visit with him when our ten year old does and will consider him to be his/her father.) He does not want joint custody because he wants no legal obligation to financially support this child. I own my home, have a good job and the support of my family and his. Basically to be a bit crude, he will be a sperm donor. To prevent him from changing his mind ten years down the road we both want him to legally relinquish his rights. Can this be done, or should we simply leave his name off the birth certificate? Any advice would be appreciated as I know it is an unusal situation.
