Yes, the right of a parent to be in his or her child's life has nothing to with whether or not he or she is paying child support. The court sees them as two entirely different issues.
In the state of Ohio how can a father who does not pay child support and does not want to see his kids or be a part of their lives sign away his rights to them??
No.
Paying child support will not cause the father to lose his parental rights - neither will not paying child support.
Termination of parental rights does not terminate one's child support obligation.
Termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.
Relinquishing one's parental rights does not terminate one's child support obligation.
Parental rights and child support are two different issues. Signing over your parental rights has no effect on your payment obligation unless the ending of the payment obligation is mentioned on the document.
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.
That is a decision made by the court. A court can grant a partial or complete Termination of Parental Rights if the judge feels it is warranted for reasons other than said parent is relieved of his or her financial obligation to their minor child/children. Generally voluntary TPR's (those requested by a parent) are only granted when a child is being legally adopted.
If you relinquish your parental rights, you are still not going to get child support payments. The child support is for the child.
Yes, a father can give up his parental rights but he still have to pay child support.
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.
I think he should
