What to do if my child’s biological mother wants custody and I’m afraid that she will get it because I no longer have the funds to contest her petition?

What to do if my child’s biological mother wants custody and I’m afraid that she will get it because I no longer have the funds to contest her petition?

I’ve had custody (residential) of my child for 8 years. My child also wants to live with her but because we live in different states and cannot afford to see the child of custody changes, I do not want to have any more to do with my ex-wife to potentially rarely see my child. What can I do to relinquish my rights to the child if this happens and how what does it entail?
