I had a one night stand w/an old girlfried, she got pregnet, I am very ill how can i sign over my rights?

Question

We have court on the 8th of Aug. I have a family of my own, I have been diagnosed with TM, and am always sick, What suggestions would you have to giving up custody to this child? I can not financialy or emotionaly support this child. This was a one night stand w/an old girlfriend. She is not a nice girl, and has in the past been violent with me. I just feel that the child would be better off not being jerked back and forth from parent to parent like I was as a child. Please give your suggestions. My TM, is bad when I am under lots of stress, and thats what I have now. I dont want to just get out of being a parent, I just dont want this child to go through h**l.

Answer 1

i think your chances arent gonna be that good......you'll most likely wind up paying child support of some kind. shouldnt have had s*x if you didnt want a baby....sick or not sick that baby is still your responsibility.

Answer 2

If she doesn't agree to it, you can't sign over your rights. And in some states, the child has to have another father figure to adopt it before the biological father can sign over his rights. You are kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place. Why not just give her full custody and pay child support?

**I don't know you situation, I hope you really are doing this for this child's best interest. It kinda sounds like, though, you cheated on your wife and don't want her to find out... Hopefully, for the sake of everyone, that is not the case!**

Answer 3

require a paternity test in court prior to a custody issue. It could be someone else's child.  do it threw the court.

Answer 4

Have you thought about maybe asking someone in your family to fight for custody of your child or fight for the child to be given up for adoption? I mean if the mother has in the past been violent maybe it would be better off in a loving adoptive home. I am sorry to hear you are sick. God Bless.

Answer 5

if people could just sign away rights when they didn't wanna support their kid's 1 night stand or not half of America's children would be without their father,sorry your sick but it's your baby you need to step up
