No, but it isn't being a responsible parent when a child has a problem.

If one parent signs the rights over to the other parent can the rightless parent be arrested for seeing the child again?

Signing over custodial rights does not mean the non-custodial parent is not permitted to see the child ever again. It simply means one parent will make the legal decisions for and regarding the child. The custodial parent can certainly deny the non-custodial visitation, but the court would rather see each parent active in the child's life if at all possible. As for arrest, you can only be arrested for violating a law or a restraining order. This is general information and not legal advice, laws vary by state, please consult a local attorney regarding local laws.


Does a disabled parent have to turn over social security disability payments for a non custodial child?

No. If a parent is getting RSDI, the child should be getting RSDI, also. The child's benefit counts as child support. In many cases, this means that the NCP does not owe any additional payment.
