I feel like if I lose the house , I will take whats left by a van and study at university... I wont be financially responsible but not parentally they are connected not separate its all or nothing.
You will absolutely be financially responsible. If she comes after you, it’s likely they’ll impute your income. You’ve shown that you are able to sustain a certain wage rate, and they will impute your shit and require you to pay at least that amount. It’s worse if you have certifications or an education.
The only way you get away with not being financially responsible is if you sign over all your parental rights. And even to do that, there has to be another man willing to adopt your child. Furthermore, even after there is another man willing to adopt, and you’ve expressed a will to terminate your rights, the mother of the child has to agree to abolish your financial responsibility, AND the judge has to agree to it.
Honestly, there aren’t many judges that will let any man off the hook financially. Even if the Mom says it’s okay.
I know you mentioned self representation, but you need to be absolutely sure you know what you’re doing or you might find yourself in a hole you can’t dig out of.
I’m not trying to be the bearer of bad news, I’m just saying all these things are possibilities.
