Thank you for your question. This is a complicated question as there are many factors and possible options. Generally, NJ does not allow a party to “sign rights over” to relive a party of the obligation to provide child support. I recommend that you consult with an experienced attorney who can discuss options regarding this issue as well as specific facts to your situation.
