Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona

I have questions, please provide answers

I have a 3 yr old daughter, the father started paying cs until 6 months ago. He wants to see her more and I'm not denying him rights however his mother has been causing me emotional stress (he lives with her). I am now re-married and have a second child on the way and I can not afford the stress. I am doing everything I can to steer clear of her, what can I do to keep her from critiquing the way I'm raising my daughter? I've had it up to here with her. Is it possible (if the father is willing) to give up rights and he will not have to pay us another dime in child support since he is having issues with ''his money''? He does not understand that the money goes to help in raising his daughter. He has also been asking me to tell the court that he has been seeing her half of the year (which is not true)so he does not have to pay child support anymore and if I do not do what he's asking of me he's going to file for custody of our daughter. What are my options?

Re: I have questions, please provide answers

He absolutely has the right to waive his rights. BUT, grandmother even now does not have any rights to interfere with your parenting. It may just be a mater of you "flexing" a little.

I can explain the procedures and issues related to termination of parental rights better by phone or in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via e'mail. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss the matter in more detail.

Please call me directly to discuss the specifics of your case, or contact my assistant Audrey to schedule a free 1/2 hour consultation. I look forward to talking with you.
