Legal Question in Family Law in New York

parental rights

Can I give up my parental rights as a noncustodial parent when my children live with their father in another state as he has custody? If so, will this relieve child support being sucked out of me?

Re: parental rights

First, child support is not sucked out of you. It is money paid for your obligations toward your children.

Second, you cannot unilaterally give up your rights as a parent. You would have to receive consent from the father to waive child support payments.
