My sister's ex husband is wanting to sign over his rights of their daughter.  He is wanting to do this to keep from paying child support.  He has visitation but has only seen the girl once in 5 months.  Every weekend when he is suppose to have her he comes up with a reason not to get her.  There are months that he does not pay child support or ony pays a small amount of it. He will hold a job because he doesn't want to pay child support and they hold it out of his check.  Can he just sign his right's over to keep from paying child support?  He has I think 5 kids that we know about.  Has nothing to do with any of them but just adopted his wife 2 kids.

Child is 5 years old.  Father wants to sign over rights to mother.  Does he still have to pay child support?

Mother has full custody with father having visitition.  Divorce papers says husband is to pay child support each month.  

We live in Mississippi.  

I have physical custody of our 9 year son.  

Divorce paper says ex is suppose to pay half of all medical bills. (even though he hasn't done it yet because he's broke. who ain't broke these days?)

Son failed eye exam at school.  He has had glasses for 4 years now but father says he don't have to have them because "they are not cool".  Nurse at school said get second opinion.  So I did.  Doctor said he needs glasses and will probably for his lifetime.

Now ex is wanting another opinion because he doesn't trust the doctor I used because he is not a specialist.  No one suggested a specialist!  But he wants me to pay half of this.  I don't think we need another opinion.  

1.  Am I responsible if he takes our son to another doctor?  3 doctors have already said he needs glasses.  He has had glasses for 4 years now.

2.  Anything I can do to ex so he will make our son wear his glasses?  He has to have them even though "they may not be cool".  It's in our son's best interest to wear them though.

There is ALOT more to this story.  Just gave the highlights of it.  Never ending battle with my ex.
