No, you will not. Many people do not realize that when they attempt to have the rights of the other parent terminated. The child also loses inheritance rights under the law. If your ex husband is attempting to terminate his rights then you need to seek legal help as son as possible. generally speaking, the courts will not allow termination to avoid paying child support under the law. Good luck.
