Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana
Surrendering Parental Rights
My ex girlfriend just told me that she is pregnant. I want her to give the baby up for adoption. She wants to keep it. IF I surrender my parental rights to the child, will that relieve me of child support/financial obligations as well?

No. Unless the mother also surrenders her right for an adoption OR she meets another man who adopts the child. The court will not bastardize the child unless there is another man to take your place.

No. Unless the child is adopted you have a child support obligation.
