QUESTION
What would be my legal remedy to ask for financial support against her mother?
Asked on Sep 27th, 2013 on Child Custody - Utah
More details to this question:
For a year I never receive finance to care for my son. The mother moved away and gave birth to another child. She only sees him once every while. I ask for financial help and never receive a penny. She is already behind 5 months in child support for her first child. Should I ask her to sign over her rights?

You could ask her to give up her rights. You could also file a petition for child support.

Unless you are married to a woman willing to adopt the child, "signing over her rights" means nothing. You should call your local prosecutor's office who can enforce child support for you.

From my viewpoint, it does not appear likely that it would worsen your situation to ask the mother to relinquish her parental rights, especially under the circumstances you describe.
