'Insert name here'	So this child had been born and you have bonded with it AND you can afford to pay for it, yet you are willing to relinquish your rights? If you don't want to be a parent, keep it zipped. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

amyhpete	Since you are paying child support, gladly, do you have a relationship with your son? Whether you do or not, I would caution against having a boyfriend adopt the son. If they were getting married, you had no objections and your son would not be saying, "Sam used to be my daddy and now Brad is my daddy," which I just find sad if you're still in existence as you always have been, then I guess it's up to your good judgment. Your parental rights would be terminated and you would have no further child support obligation. Because your rights would be terminated, any agreement you made with your son's mother about continued visits or involvement in his life would be totally unenforceable. That's my take on it. Good luck. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sam22254	I live in Texas and you can sign your rights away if the judge agrees with it. It's all up to the judge he can let you sign and get out of child support or he can still let you sign and still have you pay child support. If you have any visiation with your son then I would say don't because after you sign you have no rights at all. Even if you see him at the store you would have to walk away. The boyfriend would be his now father and he would end up hating you and feel you did this to get out of paying child support. If I were you I would cont to pay and see your son. No money is worth seeing and being with your child, Good luck Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

leila	You would be signing away all of your parental rights. meaning visitation, the ability to challenge any education or medical choices she makes. If something happens to mom, the child goes to this other boyfriend. The child will get a new birth certificate and This boyfriend will be on the birth certificate. If they separate boyfriend can be ordered to pay child support. You will no longer be responsible or able to provide medical insurance you must request by a judge that you no longer pay child support if your child support was court ordered. If it's just an agreement then you just have her sign an angreement that you won't pay childsupport. I hope this helps. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Gaia Raain II	If you allow her boyfriend to adopt your son, he would legally no longer be your son. The birth certificate would be changed to say that he is now the father. Legally, your son will never have the right to access his own information (so if your son's mother decides not to tell him who you are, he won't be able to trot on down to the courthouse for a look at his original birth certificate to find out for himself...that information will be sealed from him for life). Adoptees find their natural parents all the time, but it's more difficult than it is for non-adoptees. You would not have to pay child support. I don't know how much it costs, you'll have to call and find out. I say, it's not worth it, whatever the cost. Your son is still your son, no matter what a piece of paper says. Why not let his legal records reflect the truth? There's no need to turn your child's identity into a farce just because his mother has a new love. Besides, what's going to happen if she and this new boyfriend break up? Is your son just going to keep on getting adopted over and over? That would suck for him. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Real Moms Raise Their Children	You have rights as the father. She sounds like she is in an unstable situation. Do you know this guy? What he's like? Can you trust him around your son? You can try to fight for custody of this baby. They need your permission to adopt the child. Fight this, it's your baby too... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cantstopLinnyG	It is legal for her to live with anyone she chooses. As long as her bf is not abusing your child, there is nothing anyone can do about that. He cannot adopt him unless they are married. You would have to surrender all rights to him. Meaning, he is no longer your son according to the law. That means, no visitation, no phone calls, no going to parent teacher conferences, or even Little League games, not even pictures if they choose to not allow you to have any contact with him. And they CAN do that, because you will have NO rights. If you terminate your parental rights to your son, you do not have to pay child support, provide insurance or anything monetarily, because according to the law, you are no longer his father. Unless you have been proven unfit to parent your son, there is NO reason to terminate your rights. There is no reason he cannot have YOU, his father, and continue having a relationship with this man, who would become his step father if he marries your son's mother. It will only hurt your son. Don't do it. You will only hurt your son, and yourself. You will regret it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
