NBR - parental rights

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

My sister has a 4 yo son with her ex-H.  Their agreement is that he pays $100/mo child support or 18% of his income, whichever is greater.  Now that he has a job, my sister is revising the agreement to have the agreement show 18% of his income (the wording on the original agreement was unclear).

His response?  "I would rather terminate my parental rights than to pay you more child support."  What?!  Not to mention, he didn't start paying support until the courts became involved and started garnishing his wages.  I guess I don't understand how someone can have a child and not be responsible for them.

    I would be leaving a blazing trail to get the papers drawn up if I were her.  What a friggin douche.  If he can put a monetary value on the relationship with his son, he can take that money and rot in hell with it.

    SIL's ex is like this.  Except BIL (current H who is awesome!) would gladly adopt her kids if her ex would let him.  Instead the ex sends texts every month or 2 to ask how the kids are and sees them like 2 times a year. It's so sad for the kids.  He does send $$ though, although he is behind, so I guess that is something.

    A friend of mine is pregnant- due anytime- and her Baby's daddy told her he wants nothing to do with her or the baby.. not that he doesn't like kids he has a 4year old daughter. I just don't understand how a parent can know how rewarding it is to be a parent and chose to abandon it.. So sad

    I hope your sister gets the situation worked out! He sounds like a jerk, maybe she will be better off without him, but I hope your nephew doesn't get her by the situation!

    I was about to say this same thing! What a joke. In my book, I'd let him relinquish rights. That amount of $ wouldn't even be worth the stress or time.

    Oh yeah, he's a douche for sure.  He had the nerve to ask my sister to file the paperwork to term his rights because the courts "prefer it come from the other parent."  So not only does he want to save a few bucks, and sever the relationship with his son, but he wants her to do the dirty work for him?  Lazy.  If my nephew didn't have such a great relationship with him and adore him as a dad, my sister would probably consider allowing him to term his rights.  She's not sure it's in the best interest for her son to just stop seeing him.

    I just think it's so sad.  Oh--the icing:  he's having another baby with his current girlfriend (who also has a son from her previous boyfriend and she had his parental rights terminated...wonder where my sister's ex-H got the idea??).
