Can my husband can sign his parental rights over to me and not have to pay child support?
As far as I know we are still married but he says we are divorced. I did not recieve papers for the divorce. I basically wanted to know if he can do that because he wants nothing to do with me and that’s why he wants to sign his rights away?

Under the laws of all states in this country your spouse cannot do what he desires to do and not have to pay any semblance of child support for his child or children. I suggest that you immediately consult with a family law attorney about the matter for guidance.
