PART 2: Ex signing away rights over child support

Old post summary: I posted a few days ago about my ex wanting to sign his rights away over child support. I posted screenshots last time but I don’t feel like going through that again this time. Long story short, my ex can’t keep a job and is completely uninvolved. He calls our son maybe 1x every 3 months, doesn’t exercise his visits, etc. 2 weeks before his first day of kindergarten, he called high out of his mind and asked how second grade has been going. I mean he’s literally non-existent. Meanwhile, my husband has been raising him since he was a baby and they are like one. Everyone slammed me in my last post because apparently shame on me for not feeling for him over losing his job and being too harsh with him. I offered to skip 2 weeks of child support and asked that he be mindful that when he skips, I have to pick up the slack. No, I don’t feel bad that he got fired for the millionth time 🤷🏻‍♀️ It’s definitely frustrating that he can just drop child support when he goes through hard times he brings on himself but I don’t have that option. Anyways, I also don’t go through the system because I know he can’t afford it and I don’t want it to effect his life. He went on with the “fuck you”s and all kinds of other bs because apparently I should feel bad for him and skipping 2 weeks of child support isn’t enough. He called me money hungry and I said it’s not about money but I also don’t feel bad for him as a father because he is completely uninvolved. He hardly knows our sons middle name. He then basically said he wanted to sign over his rights. I hired an attorney on the spot.

Update: Today his mom called me and said she spoke to him. He said he doesn’t feel like our sons father and he doesn’t want to have the financial responsibility. He said he just wants to cut ties and do what is best for everyone. His mom is sad but she said my new husband has done a “bang up” job of being our sons father and he has the right to adopt him. My ex said he just wants to “start fresh”. I shit you not. START. FRESH. In life. So for all of you that slammed me and defended this man, I say again, shame on you.
