Asked on May 14th, 2019 on Child Custody - Florida
More details to this question:
My sons father has not been been around for 10 years and has only provided child support because I took him to court when my son was 3 months. At that time he also legally agreed I have sole custody. My sons father lives in Texas and I used to live in New York and now live in Florida. His father has never reached out even when we have and he never attempted any interaction. Can I relinquish his rights as a parent and also stop his child support?

no - it is the public policy in Frlodia that every child has a right to be supported by both parents. Also, if his father should ever become deceased, the child would be able to collect social security survivors benefits.
