In the US, an attorney can't force it, but a judge can. For example, if Mom says "I don't want his money, order a dollar month" the judge can say "The child is entitled to support from his/her father, and therefore I'm ordering a reasonable and customary amount" (in which case if Mom doesn't want the money, she can pop it into a college fund for the child)
What else can I help you with?
Your husbands left and wants a divorce after he has an affair. You are pregnant. Are there any laws in Mississippi to help you?

So what?
In the state of Georgia if father of the child wants all rights terminated is he still liable for child support?
Yes. see linksAns 2.The father has the option to waive his rights if he wants to, and if he can convince the judge that he is sane, sober and not under coercion as he does so.This has nothing at all to do with child support, which is not his right, but his responsibility. In general the mother can't waive child support either, because support is her child's right, not hers.THAT IS CORRECT.....unless the child's mother has re-married and her husband wants to adopt this child, that would release the biological father from paying child support.
What if father wants to be in the child's life does he have to pay child support?
A father is responsible for supporting his child whether or not he is in the child's life.
Your niece lives with you but you are not her legal guardian can you help her sue her father for child support she is 15 and wants me to help her?
If you are their legal guardian, you can collect child support from both parents of the child. If you are not their legal guardian and they just live with you, you do not have rights to child support.
My child's father is a college student. Will he have to pay child support?
Yes, if he's over 18 and plans to see his child. If he doesn't, then he legally has NO rights to the child. Which is legal also... if he refuses to pay child support, then he gives up his legal right to see his child. End of story. You can't force someone to pay for something they don't want. But yes, if he's over 18, wants to see his child, then he must pay child support. Be firm.
How do you give custody to father without paying a lot when child wants to live there and we have joint custody?
You should consult with an attorney who specializes in custody issues who can review your situation and explain both your options and the consequences of the change. Child support orders are based on state guidelines. If you and the child's father have an amicable relationship perhaps the attorney could draft an agreement that would be accepted by the court.
