In most cases the court has the power to permanently terminate parental rights but require the parent(s) to pay all or partial support of the minor child/children. Cases are adjudicated on an individual basis.
You cannot just "give up" parental rights (which is a different thing than custodial rights). Termination of parental rights has to be approved by a judge and normally they will not approve it unless it's for the purpose of adoption. However, if your parental rights have indeed been terminated, then you are no longer responsible for supporting the child.
Yes, until/unless the child is adopted.
A court can terminate parental rights but that would not necessarily terminate the parents responsibility to support the child.
Yes unless the child is adopted by a step-parent or someone
No. Child support, visitation, custody etc are all separate issues. The court will see to what is best for the child and one parent can not deny the parental rights of the other.
No, voluntarily relinquishing your parental rights does not excuse you from having to pay child support. However, you may be able to give the child up for adoption, in which case you would be relieved of your child support obligation.
No one has to. the paternal father should still support or help however unless he wants to give up all rights.
He can give up paternal rights, but he will still have to pay child support. * File a voluntary relinquishment of parental rights petition in the appropriate state court in the county of residence. The judge will decide if the TPR is to be granted and if so to what extent. If the judge feels it is in the best interest of the child for the father to be removed from his or her life then child support obligations can also be terminated.
Yes, unless/until the child is adopted.
No, but before you are allowed to sign away your paternal rights it will have to be approved by the family court in your area, and they will probably order that paternity be established prior to allowing it.

In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.
no difference. the law doesn't take into account the name of the child.
