Can You Sign Away Your Parental Rights to Avoid Paying Child Support

My question involves child support in the State of: Texas I cheated on my wife while in Afghanistan. The fellow soldier knew I had a family at home and it was a one time thing it meant nothing and I wanted nothing from it. She got pregnant and now three years later wants me to pay child support. I have a family and as selfish as it may sound I don't want anything to do with the child or her. I understand that I have. Financial obligation now but want nothing to do with it can the mother agree to let me sign off my rights and us just go our seperate ways I've hurt my family enough?

where is the mother and child located?

Nobody will ever force you to see your child.

If Mom is in Texas, and she agrees, the court does actually have that option available (where you would be able to get rid of rights and obligations). But if she won't agree, game over. You will support your child no matter what.

Is this still a possibility if she has no one to adopt the child?

Yes, in Texas that is a legal option.

Of course, Mom would need to agree, and she'd generally have to show the court that she can raise the child without the state's help.

You have no rights unless you exercise them. If you are comfortable with having and creating a child and being nothing more than a paycheck while allowing this child to be parentless, and your "wife" is ok with having a husband as despicable and actually supports it, there's nothing stopping you. I mean, you're absolutely right. Penalize an innocent child because you don't want to hurt your family. This child, your flesh and blood isn't your family, is it?

I don't want to be a paycheck I have no choice in the matter I didn't choose for her to keep the child she knew I was married as well. Men have no options the only option they have is to pay child support or raise the child. A women can go to the clinic and handle her business, I am at fault but I refuse to allow my family to go through anymore then I have already put them through. It's not fair to either party. We live in michigan and that child lives in texas what type of life would she have...... Think about that before you start bashing.

Alrighty then.

What kind of life do you think she's going to have when she gets older and realizes that her father didn't want squat to do with her?

Oh quit your whining - no options? The idea never occurred to you that babies sometimes follow sex? Really? Do the honorable thing for once in your life.

And...oh I get it now. Your little wifey doesn't know about this, does she? Perhaps you should talk to her and get her "read" on things.

Hmmm, before we started swinging, Spouse had her tubes tied and I had a vasectomy. We have no kids floating around. You owe it to your wife to fess up and your child to meet your obligations. If your relationship collapses, remind her this is the for worse part. Monogamy is a choice not nature.
