Please help. Im going on 38 weeks on monday the 4th of Aug and i have been going through HELL this whole pregnancy with the father. We had been in a relationship for almost 2 years..and i got pregnant and he turned into a complete heartless a'hole. He has only been to 1 doc apt, and hasnt spent a DIME on anything for the baby. He ignores my calls, cheated on me once, calls me names all the time, meets girls off of the web. And WHY do i still care and love him? Its like i cant get away although he treats me like c__p!
ANYWAYS! He wants me to give it up for adoption, as of last week. And then he said he might give up rights if i take him to court for child support.. is that possible for him to do? He needs to pay for his child, but is it that easy to get out of paying for his child by signing up rights? Does anyone know about this? Because if he does then will he have to pay for childsupport. That would be aweful... doesnt that mean he doesnt want Anything to do w/ the child?
I need answers, ive been trying to look up on law sites for arizona, but im not finding any information about signing rights away.
Please respond..
And if you have information about child support, when would i file? Right after baby is born?
You would think a 22 yr old male would be responsible, guys are ruthless.

I don't think that he can just signhis rights over if you dont wanthim too.. Just takehim to court and makehim pay for his baby. He had fun making the baby it's time he stepped up and took careof his responsibilities. But thisdoes mean that hewill have rights. Do you wanthim inthe babies life?? If you don't really then maybe him giving uphis rights is the best thing. Can youdo this on your own? Do you have a supporting family? All the best.

oh he can sign his rights over alright. Which means he isnt a father, he dosnt have to pay a single thing forever. If you ever need anything, help with doctors bills, school, anything, he dosnt have to help you. But that also means, if he wants to see his child in the future, he will have to take you to court. He is selfish if he signs his rights over but it may teach him a lesson too. GL

Well i dont want him to sign his rights away.. because i do need help, and i do want him to be a part of his kids life, i just dont want him to be having an anger problem around my child.. I didnt know if you had to have permission to sign rights away or if you can just do it like 1.2.3.
I know nothing about signing rights away, just that he will have no rights and doesnt have to pay.. that would be really messed up of him. And yes i have a very supportive family, but its really sad because he is the father and i was with him for 2 years and we had an awesome relationship until i got pregnant.

He cannot give up his rights if you want for him to pay child support. I looked into having my baby's father sign his rights away (he's worthless and I don't want for him to have any rights if he's not going to be emotionally involved). The courts WILL NOT allow that to happen, even in my case. I would have to prove that there was someone lined up to adopt the child because the court system favors "two parent families." This is how it is in my state--I don't know about yours, but I DO know that if you take him to court, he WILL have to pay.

I am in California and here, a father cannot terminate his rights/responsibilities unless there is an adoptive parent---a spouse or a domestic partner in place. even if the mother agrees. But since you want support, you are certainly ent_tled, without a doubt you will win support. You should be able to get free legal advice from your county courthouse--call the Family Law court and ask, they can help you out with what you need to know. good luck!

No sweetheart he can't give up his right just like that I don't see why he can't pay child support. I know in Louisiana if he doesn't pay after so long and he has a job they will garnish his work checks. But you will have to pursue your case.

Sounds to me like he's immature and just doesn't want to pay child support. If he wants to sign his rights away LET HIM cause he will be sorry later.
Idiot men like that think that later on you'll cave when he wants to see his kid, but screw him and DON'T.
I'm thinking of actually MAKING my boyfriend sign his rights away cause I don't think he'll be on point with the child support anyways and I really don't want him having any influence over my future child that I'm pregnant with now. What's funny is that he's trying to get out of child support by getting me to marry him. HA - I don't want to be with him so I'm just gonna move on with my life and make sure I get the child support.
