It's official. I'm calling a lawyer to have the papers drawn up for Paul to sign his rights over. He agreed. I called him tonight asking him for money for diapers...yes I do have money for diapers..but he needs to step up and help out. He said, "DON'T FUCKING CALL MY PHONE!" I called him right back and he had some uneducated sounding female answer

Good I'm glad that he decided to sign over his rights, it would be the best thing for the both of you.

That would drive me nuts, what a nasty child!

I'm just cruising by from babywearer, but I wanted to tell you that your ex can't voluntarily terminate his parental rights without someone to take them- as in- you'd have to be married to someone who would be willing to adopt your daughter. If he hasn't signed a recognition of parentage/his name isn't on the birth certificate he technically doesn't have legal rights anyway. If/when you file for CS they will give him the option of a paternity test at his expense and then he will become the legal father... if you're not wanting him to have rights it may be best not to file (though, I know that if you're on state health care they're going to legally require that you DO file). Your situation is rough and I'm sorry that you're in it.
