And what exactly could he do if he took me to court to try and sign off his rights and not pay child support?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My fiance has a 9 year old child who is living with us at this time since his mom is a drug addict trying to clean herself. This child doesn't want to live with us and hates us and he even called child services on us and accused us of child abuse. He hates grown ups and anybody who tries to disciplined him, even his teacher and doctors. My fiance wants to give up his parental rights, but we are concerned about the consequences.  We were told that my fiance could go to jail for abandonment of a child if he decides to give up his parental rights. Is that correct? is this a crime in the state of CT?]]></description>
