Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

My ex girlfriend is pregnant and I want nothing to do with it. If i give up all my rights to the child will I be financially responsible to pay child support and medical costs. I don't want anything to to with this because she is only trying to make my life difficult to spite me. She doesn't want me in the child's life and never to meet the child anyways so why should I have to pay all the costs that go along with it?

It is extremely unlikely that just because your exgirlfriend is mean, that a judge is going to punish an innocent child. Unless your girlfriend marries someone else, that loves this child and wants to adopt this child; the child is your responsibility. You might want to get used to the idea, and then decide if you want to be part of the child's life. You need to hire a lawyer to represent you in legal proceedings that are probably about to start.
