Here's a little background information....

My husband's ex wife owes about $10,000 in back child support and is ordered to pay $400 a month for current. She submitted a motion to modify child support and they have a hearing tomorrow. She wants her child support to be lowered to $250 a month. Our state law in Nevada says the minimum is 18% of her income and that's what $400 is. My husband filed for child support enforcement in January and his caseworker called his ex last week and told her that the child support will most likely stay at $400 because it is the state minimum. My husband's ex then called him and told him that she wants nothing to do with their son anymore because she doesn't want to pay $400 a month and still have to pay back child support. She told him that she wants to terminate her parental rights.

My husband filed for CSE because we really need the money. So, my questions is, can she voluntarily terminate her rights and just walk away. And my husand is just supposed to support their son now completely on his own with no financial support from her? He's fine if she doesn't want to visit him (she barely does now anyway) so what can he do to make sure that this doesn't happen? My step son is 5 years old and he is just barely getting to know his BM and he's really excited about it and now she wants nothing to do with him... Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
