Answer:
If your husband signs over paternity, he may be relinquishing his rights and obligations as a father. Once a court order is issued that releases him from these responsibilities, he will not have to pay future child support. However, any child support payments owed before the order can still be collected.This content is for informational purposes only and is not legal advice.
