The Mother wants the father to sign over rights to child,
stating that she no longer wants him to pay child support
due to her getting married. Does he still have to pay support!???
Nothing is legal over paying. They both agreed on a amount.
He just doesn't want her coming back and saying he is a dead beat Dad and never paid. What are his rights??

signing over rights

Does your husband(?) love this child. If so why would he sign over right that means he loses all visitation and yes would not have to pay support. Is that the best option for the said child. He obviously is worried about looking like a dead beat dad. In my opinion and recent situation my step sons mother signed over her rights to visitation and support and I adopted Lane. That was 3 years ago. He still wonders why she didn't love him or want to see him it is very traumatic to watch him go through this. He was old enough to remember I told his mother she could still be a part of his life call, write, keep in contact for his sake she will always be the one who carried him for 9 months delivered him and raised him for 2 1/2 years I didn't I am glad he is here and love him more than I could imagine but tell your husband(?) Think of what the future will be like for the child in question. We still are trying to get Lane to understand it wasn't him and that was years ago. I wish you the best but in my opinion just because someone is getting married doesn't mean he has to stop being a father. God gave him that child they are one of a kind and never replaceable. I wish you the best.

The fact that he is considering it, makes him a deadbeat parent. For the sake of the child I suggest that he asks the new husband to adopt the child and for the mother to waive all past CS.
