Once a person adopts a child, they are now the 'parent' or owner of the child. The biological parents would no longer be financially responsible. though both of the biological parents would have to sign the proper adoption documents for this to happen.

Each state has its own adoption laws. You will need to check with a lawyer concerning your local law. I know of one case where the father did not pay child support. The lawyer had the court declare the child abandoned by the father. Then adoption proceedings began. After the adoption became final, the birth father appeared. He could do nothing.

What happens if plaintiff doesn't show to child support hearing?

the judge has the right to assign your obligation amount in absentia (without you) if there is enough proof that you were served and properly notified of the hearing in some cases the judge can withdraw the child support request for refusual to cooperate. if you filed for child support you need to be at that hearing to protect your childs best interests. if you cannot attend you need to notify the court and request that they change the date. if you are represented by DCS, CPS, or a child support agency they can get the order without your presence because they represent you legally on your behalf... just remember it is never good to allow a judge the authority to make decisions that will affect you and your childs life without your input!
