I went to court a few weeks ago, and my daughters father hadn't seen my daughter in 18 months. 19 months now, but anyway and he has not payed any child support, ever. He owes me over 3,000 dollars in support. When we went to court he said he wanted to sign his rights over, and I wanted the same. But, he also lied (duh) and, told the judge he might as well sign his rights over because i won't let him see her (if this WAS true, wouldn't he have taken me back to court?) well, the judge said he can't sign his rights over unless someone else is willing to adopt my daughter. Why is this? He said he can give up visitation but, still be legally obligated to pay support until someone else adopts her. So, if he doesn't want to have anything to do with her, and I want him out of her life, then why can't this be done? We go back to court in November and my daughter has been assigned an attorney to represent her. If this attorney thinks it's best for her to live with me permanently and, for his rights to be terminated then, can this be done then? My hubby has been raising her for almost 2 years now as his own, she thinks he is her daddy since she hasn't seen her bio father since she was 8 months old.
