My EH said once that he would sign away his rights so that he could stop paying child support..I told him nope..I won't agree to that.

Even if rights are signed by other parent they are still responsible to pay CS unless the parents agree and sign so but other parent still could go back and get it later or unless the child is adopted by someone else like SP.... My EH wanted to do this... I even agreed that I would wave all past owed arrears if he pd the $600 the lawyer would charge to sign over his rights and for my DH to adopt my BD..... So he chickened out. His new thing is telling his family BD isn't his.... HA HA HA funny shit.

Unless someone is willing to adopt the child you cant

In our case - My DH is adopting my 2BD but EX HUB will still be ordered to pay support.

Not that he will he owes me will over 100K - but I was not willing to give it up

My daughters are of age they can sign papers (12 here)

thats what fh said in frustration... if mil and bm want to keep this up then ill sign my rights over to mil and she can pay bm cs! I was like uhhhhhhh heck no! they will never be happy, no matter what you do, because in the end all they want to control is fh, and since they no longer can do this they are using ss, hopefully it doesnt mess up the kid too much and eventually he sees them for what they are!

I know that fh does not want ss out of his life at all! but i think that he thinks that if he threatens bm with this she will stop acting crazy because she knows ss adores fh and needs him in his life....uh, my opinion...if fh ever said this mil and bm would use it against him and say that i made fh push ss out of our life...yet yesterday these two psychos said i was trying to become his mother and take ss away from bm...freakin loser!

The other parent must agree to it. The parent can agree to it but CS is still mandated unless the full time parent waves that right.
