Q: Can my soon to be ex husband give up his rights without there being someone else to b take them?
My soon to be ex husband says that he doesn’t believe our unborn baby is his (I believe it’s his girlfriends doing because at first he was on board). He wants nothing to do with him or me and wants to give up his rights at birth. Can he give up his rights with no step parent or other father to take them? and if he can, would he not be liable for child support anymore?
If not is there another legally binding paper stating he doesn’t want the right to see the child?
