In Wisconsin in the same circumstance the mother still has rights to the children until an order is put in place by going through mediation to have sole custody. I was told that the courts will not make the father or mother sign over rights as a parent unless there is another parental figure in the child's life. (You have to get married) The mother or father, however, can willingly sign over rights. I have just found this out because I am in the midst of this with my daughter's father. I think it is absolutely absurd. The abandoning parent poses more of a risk in the child's life than a positive role model.
I am not a lawyer but I believe there are two ways you wouldn't have to pay child support. One being if the child is adopted and the second is if you have an arrangement with someone and they do not seek it and they are not going to be on public assistance. If they go on public assistance, I'm pretty sure the state would go after child support.
The mother cannot receive child support for a child who is over the age of 18. However, if the father owes money from before, that money has to be paid to the mother, even if the child is over 18. The father owes child support whether or not he sees the child.
According to your state laws the mother has to be taken to court for abandonment before her rights can be taken from her. In another case she would have to willingly sign her rights over to someone else that will be taking care of the child, but until one or the other happens there isn't a law that states that in a certain amount of time the mothers or fathers rights will just be dropped.Unfortantly, it doesn't happen like that. I also understand that there are parents out there that shouldn't have any rights to their child because it is unsafe or unhealthy. That is for a judge to decide on, they would have to be proved unfit before the child can just be stripped from the parent without having the parents control over the situation.
Not without a court order. In Missouri, a mother can deny the father access to the children for six months, than the children can be adopted by a stepparent.
You could certainly petition the court to do so. It's not automatic, though.
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.
Giving up parental rights has nothing to do with paying support. As the natural father, you are obligated to support the child the mother will be raising and can be ordered to do so by the court. You made the decisions; the consequences are yours. Think of the child and his or her needs through childhood. Would you want to be left behind because your father didn't want to support you?
Any time a parent releases custodial rights it must be done through the Family Court. If this other man is the child's step parent then Dad can voluntarily terminate his parental rights through the court and then step dad can adopt the child. But Dad can't just sign his rights over to any other man. Legal guardianship of children must be accomplished by court order.
Yes, the revocation of parental rights does not exclude the parent from being financially responsible until the child or children reach the age of emancipation, or the age ordered in the child support petition.
"custodial" ... "their" ... 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.

Mother Teresa did NOT support forced sterilization. Sterilization is against Catholic Church teachings.
The only way a mother can be forced to pay child support in any state, is if she does not have primary custody of the child. If the child or children live primarily with the father, then the mother can be made to pay child support.
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.
No, she forfeits her parental rights.
no
yes, unless/until the child is adopted

No the child support does not give you parental rights, Speak to the Local bracnh of Citizens Advise. You should have parental rights peried but to us men they are not worth the paper they are on. Law always sides with mother.
