More details to this question:
My boyfriend and I have a 3 year old daughter and a baby due in January of 2014. He is mean sometimes and I told him I was going to leave him and stick him for child support. He said he would sign his rights over to both of them to keep from paying child support. I live in Alabama and was wondering if he can do that.

This can be done through an adoption process. A termination of parental rights does not necessarily stop the obligation to pay child support. However through an adoption process where a step parent or grandparent adopts the child legally, the child support would end.
