does any one know if i can relinquish all of bd rights but still get child support? i dont feel safe him being around jayden and i amfraid once we go to court he is going to want visitation.
I don't think you can (but I'm not positive) however you can request supervised visitation... I don't know what the difference between "sole custody" and "relinquishment" is (if there's any) but I know it's very hard in most cases to get a father to sign away his rights, even if he wants to. I believe in most cases there must be another person in a position to adopt the child.
One of my friends has sole custody although BD gets visitation; she doesn't have to ask him for permission on anything and she gets CS. good luck
It CAN by done, but it's unusual. The cases I know of were fathers who had molestation, drug abuse, drunk driving, or abandonment on their records. They DID have all legal rights severed- but they still were obligated to provide support.
In your case, i think your best bet would be to wait and see if he asks for visitation- if he doesn't, the unmarried mother gets sole custody and all visitation options are up to her.
No. Paying child support doesn't entitle fathers to visitation, although he will probably get it unless there is a reason to keep him from seeing children. If you don't think it is in your child's best interest, what about supervised visitation?
Yes, go after the child support--then however, you must collect information of violence, temper, aggrivation that he has shown or displayed...in other words, there has to be a reason behind it. You cannot just say, he should not have rights; however, lilttle things count such as:
"Has the father made any threats against you?
Does he have a history of domestic violence?
Does he have a bad temper?
Has he ever gotten in trouble at work because of his temper?
Has he ever manifested anything like road rage or getting ticked off if someone cuts in line at a store?
Has he abused you psychologically?
These are questions that I copied word for word from my own lawyer-I hope it helps!

I think once he pays child support, he has rights. You can ask for supervised visits... beleive me, when the time comes, thats what I am going to do.
he actually doesn't have to pay child support to have his rights. they have rights to see the child, (etc.) regardless of whether or not they pay cs.
