signing over right

[knewton04]

I am wanting to know how and if I can sign over my parental rights to my 2 children. My ex-wife does not allow me to have any contact with them it has been about 3 years since I saw them last and she has remarried and has a newborn with her new husband. I myself have remarried and have a 3 year old and another baby on the way. I do not want to pay child support anymore to her and she will never allow be to be in their lives, how can i sign over my rights if she is not in agreement with it?

I'm just curious. If you are paying child support, have you taken her to court for visitation rights? Is paternity in question? If I were you and it has been established that the 2 children are yours, I would not give up on them. I know you have another family and it is easy for me to say that but those 2 children have the right to spend time and develop a relationship with you, their father. My advice is to take her to court again and have the courts force her to give you visitation or seek custody of the two children. I'm not a lawyer but I don't believe you can give up parental rights and end child support without her agreement. Please remember that there are 2 children involved that should not be left without a father. A stepfather, in my opinion. is not the same thing. Good luck.

You cannot sign over your rights unless her husband adops. If you are not seeing the kids part of it is your fault if you are not taking mom to court for violating any visitation decree. These are your children. If there is a visitation schedule that mom is not following then talk to an attorney. It is possible you can even ask that mom pay your legal fees. singing over your rigths won't solve anything.
