[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can absolutely do this on your own.

I would think further about trying to get him to give up his parental rights.  You are correct that it will be hard for your child to have an unreliable parent who is in and out of their life unreliably, but it is also hard to have a father who walked away entirely and your child may also blame you in part for having him sign away his rights.  Unless you are independently wealthy, get a child support order in place instead.[/quote]

One of his exact lines to me was “how great for you to have another income stream”. He really, REALLY does not want to pay child support. I don’t know exactly how much he makes, but I don’t think it’s much, so I doubt I would get that much from him anyway. My family is fairly well-off and willing to help, so money won’t be too much of an issue. [/quote]

This is really not a choice he gets to make. I would get a child support in place as well. That is your child's $. I also would want to leave open the door for your child to have a relationship with him. Don't assume your kid won't miss him or that he won't have lifelong abandonment issues.[/quote]
