I'm currently trying to have my husband adopt my son however the father won't sign his rights over even though he's offered previously under false pretenses. You can indeed waive arrears at least in Texas and if not the girls can at age 18. I would however insist on having an attorney draw up the paperwork so that it is written the way a judge wants it written, so that all things are included, and so it doesn't look like a fill in the blank kind of effort. Just paperwork and witnessing fees shouldn't be much then all you have is the filing fees which include the court costs. Good luck

No. No, they cannot. Why, you ask? Because the money is not owed to them. And once they are 18, they can undergo an adult adoption w/o their father's consent. BTW - he is their FATHER, OP, NOT their "bio-parent".

I have an attorney that has already done it.... Its support for the child SUPPORT. If you have someone else legally step in to SUPPORT the child the other can be surrendered. To "father" is to raise and nurture. Biological parents are genetically based relatives... Or in Texas non costodial parents. Or better yet there are no moms or dads only proprietary roles in which I am a sole proprietor. Don't play lawyer.

Have you received state aid?

I'll quit playing lawyer, if you quit playing parent.

"Parent", "father", and "mother" are specific legal terms that have nothing to do with raising and/or nurturing, and very little to do with biology. Shush now.
