Re: ex boy friend gave up rights
Well he can choose not to exercise rights to custody. He can NOT absent a termination of parental rights avoid his duty of child support.
The only way to terminate his parental rights is if someone were to adopt the child. The only way that would happen and your parental rights would not be terminated is if your husband, assuming you had one, adopted the child. If that were to happen you would know about it.
So the short answer is NO he didn't terminate any thing.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me, the initial consultation is free.
