Q: If I take my kids dad off of child support, will he still have rights?
I have a form from the attorney generals office that is notarized to not let him know of our location due to our safety. His mother is court ordered to not be around the kids without supervision. He breaks all the rules of the child support, including when he brings the kids back...it is never at the time appointed by the court. He tells the kids to lie to me and that I am a kidnapper, etc. He has caused a lot of hurt to my children and I, I have moved, but he found out where I live and just pops up whenever he feels to interrupt our lives. Can I get a restraining order, drop the child support or something to get away from him?
A: Yes, only terminating his parental rights will end his parental rights. Judges want parents to support their kids so you might not be able to find a judge willing to sign your paperwork. I urge you to talk to a family law attorney immediately before you do anything.
