Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

Re: Non Custodial Parent

What "rights" are you trying to give to the custodial parent? If the other parent has physical and legal custody, then you have visitation rights. If you do not want to exercise those visitation rights, you are free to forfeit your visits. You may have other "rights", for example the right to be heard in an adoption proceeding for your child.

As a biological parent, you have obligations, one of which is child support. Giving up your rights will not erase your obligations to the child.

Bringing the matter to the attention of the court could result in an assessment of child support, an expense that could continue until your child is in their 20s. Child support is between 25% and 33% of your gross income. You should consult with an attorney. The alternative is that you could be assessed with child support payments that amount to many thousands of dollars. This is not a place to cut corners, or do it yourself.
