Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

If by "sign over" you mean that he is attempting to terminate his rights and obligations as a father, this cannot be done in NJ absent someone adopting the child. In other words, if you are remarried and your husband wants to adopt the child (a step-parent adoption), then the biological father can agree to this and his rights and obligations will stop. Absent that, he has the obligation to continue to pay child support and, quite frankly, the moral obligation to "be a dad". Whether he does or not is another question.

Keep in mind that this advice is given based on the little bit of information that you have

provided in your question. My advice may change based on other information. Further, no one

can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. You cannot rely on this advice because we have not personally met and you have not retained me as an attorney. If you have any questions whatsoever, you should meet with an attorney for a full consultation before you take any further steps. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
