Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Child Support after termination of legal rights
My son was married and a son was born during this marriage ,but everybody had doubts that this child was my sons. Eventually they divorced and my son paid child support. She remarried as did my son. After three years of everbody telling him that the child was not his he told her that he was getting a DNA test. The very next day she called and said that her new husband wanted to adopt the child and that my son could terminate his parental rights. That, to us was a clear evidence that the child was not his. He terminated his rights and is still liable for back child support. She is now getting a divorce from her second husband and my son recieved a letter from the Attorney General stating that my son now must pay current and back child support. This does not seem right. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Re: Child Support after termination of legal rights

Two points: 1. He should not owe child support

for months after the date of termination, however

2. Was he terminated, or did he just sign an

affidavit relinquishing his rights?? Two different

things. The affidavit alone will not stop the

child support.
