More details to this question:
I'm the father of two kids, four years old and five years old. Their mother has sole custody. She recently filed an op and had my kids put on it as a protected party. If the op is granted for two years no contact with my children no visits, can I sign my rights away? I am asking because if I'm told, I can’t see my children for two years then really what rights do I have anyways?
1 ANSWER
No. First of all you cannot sign your rights wast unless some is adopting your kids. The fact that there is an op has no effect on your obligation to support your kids. It might even be argued that your support should be increased as they must spend all their time with the other parent, increasing that parent's costs.
