Of course you do ... signing away your "rights" only means that you do not wish to have any visitation or custodial responsibilities. You still are financially responsibly for that child and his/her upbringing. After all, they are your children, too ... takes two to make kids, ya know!

Basically, if you are signing away parental rights because you're not interested in the child and don't want to pay money for him/her, you're probably pretty much out luck.
If you are signing away parental rights because the baby's mother has a husband who wants to adopt your child, then you will be free of future financial obligation once your rights are relinquished. (You will still be liable for past financial obligations you have not met.)

However if one parent wants the other parent to sign away their parental rights,they can come to a legal aggreement that if the parent signs away their rights then the other parent will cancel any current child support and will not seek support for that child in the future,this of course must be done through the courts...

Can an illegal immigrant mother receive child support if she leaves country and father gives up all rights?
If the father Legally gave up his parental rights - (signed legal papers), then he is no longer legally responsible to pay child support for the child. Did he give up parental rights so you could remove the child from the country? A family member of mine had to have her baby's father sign away his parental rights so he would not have to pay child support when he entered the military. So - once parental rights are signed away Legally, the father has NO obligation to pay child support. You cannot have it both ways - you cannot have him sign away his parental rights, yet still expect him to pay child support.
