But what I need some advice on is that his bio father is not in the picture well he was til september but he isn't now. and I found out like 1 week or so before I had my son that he joined the miltary and is engaged to another girl which I don't care about that if he's happy thats good but what I don't get is that he didn't tell me that he was joining the miltary back in september when I talked to him the last time! what I am trying to figure out is that he knew when I was due and he hasn't even called to see if I had the baby. What I am wondering is if there is any way I can get him to sign his rights over with out having any contact with him what so ever I really don't want him to have anything to do with my son. if anyone has some advice I would appreciate it
thanks Kaden's mom [/qb]
You can absolutely ask legally that he give up his rights. Serve him with the legal papers. Its like a mother signing papers to give a child for adoption in a way. Remember though that you can't come after him for child support though in the future and if he is in the military, you may want to take advantage of that steady income...sorry...its reality...you WILL need the money and your child is OWED that support. You are only 18 so DO NOT sell you or your child short unless you have a solid financial background from your family. I understand your emotion because I was there,but you do not have the right to deny your child financial support. So unless you can truly do this on your own, he has an obligation too. If you ever go for welfare, they will make you jump through hoops about this so you may as well get the father IN or all the way OUT ASAP. Sorry if this is harsh, but its true. BEEN THERE
