Sole Legal Custody In Exchange for Eliminating Child Support

[Eekamouse]

I absolutely understand that and perhaps I wasn't clear in my question. I am aware that he has the right to request visitation or a change in custody order until my child is 18, but I am not at all concerned about that considering he has zero interest in his child's life and has made it clear that he never will. My question is about the paperwork- if I fill out the paperwork for sole legal custody, will that include everything I'd ever need to make decisions for in regards to my child. Will I have all the legal power to make these decisions without having to interact with his bio dad?

The child is very young though, right? After a few years and once the anger at you has cooled, he may decide he wants a relationship with his child.
