Re: child support
Maybe.
The right to child support is that of the child, and Texas law does not allow a parent to waive those rights. As a practical matter, parents have agreed that a certain sum constitutes payment in full, and obtain a court order reflecting full payment. Your boyfriend either should have his own attorney, or make sure he understands the documents being submitted to the court.
