Counterpoint: huge difference between "never comes around...until he changes his mind and upends everything" vs. "legally, permanently relinquishes all parental rights, and enters into a binding contract with teeth agreeing never to contact any of them or even mention he ever even had a son ever again." Which he won't do."This is what the entirety of team V wants" (ethan ralph out of their lives)
LOL, LMAO. That is such a lie. If they just ignored him he wouldn't even be in their lives. Ralph wouldn't have pursued xander, or offered child support on his own. Sure he might talk about it on twitter. Without Ralph they get none of the attention they desperately want. This is entirely their making.
*I'd make him agree to severe monetary penalties for so much as mentioning the kid's existence (likely) or sending an anon birthday card (lol as if) and sign a confession of judgment, which operates such that if X happens (the thing you don't want them to do and that triggers the debt, you don't have to sue them for what they now owe you, but instead you can immediately seek to collect on it. I'd throw in garnishment and lien paperwork, too, all pre-signed/filable, to whatever extent permitted by law. But for starters (if Ralph had any money) there'd be a big liquid escrow, too, as stop #1 on the collection train, sitting there waiting for his inevitable screw up, for 16 long fucking years.
Why, yes, I do have shoulda/coulda/woulda fantasies about brutally making people pay what they owe. Live and learn. Bygones!
