My brother is having a very hard time with his ex. She has decided that he can no longer see his 2 boys and has told him to sign over his rights as their father. She states that she does not need his help or his oney. He is actually considering this but does not know if he will have to continue to pay child support for the children if he does this. Does he if it is at her request?

Your brother would be a fool to listen to her. The only thing that can change a court order is a new court order. No agreement between the parties, written and notarized or oral can change the court order.

If your brother's visitation is being violated by the other parent, he needs to file a contempt of court action against her. If he tries to terminate his rights, it would have to be in front of a judge. If a judge approves the termination, which is doubtful since there is no other person willing to adopt, his obligation to pay support will continue.

Tell him to take her to court over the visitation denial. He needs to keep doing it if he must to enforce the order. At some point, a jugde may decide she has interfered with his rights one too many times and will change custody.
