If you sign over your parental rights to a child do you still have to pay child support in tn?
Generally speaking, once parental rights (which is a different thing than custodial rights) are terminated a person is no longer responsible for child support. However, you cannot just "sign over" your parental rights. Parental rights can only be terminated by a judge, and unless it's a case of adoption (where someone else is willing to assume your parental responsibilities), the judge generally says "no, I won't allow it"

What rights does a father have if he is not on the child's birth certificate and nor does he live in the US?
The birth certificate is not something that gives him parental rights, he have to go to court for that and prove it by DNA test. A birth certificate does not require DNA so it does not hold up in court. So yes, if he has gone to court he has rights.

What if you never signed the birth cirtificate and never had a DNA test can you still have child support?
Yes. The court requires a DNA test be done before granting child support. If you are not willing to give one the mother can ask for a court ordered one. That will prove paternity and also give you parental rights as petitioning for visitation or custody as well as paying child support.
Can father be prevented to meet minor child if sole custody is with mother who take diverse from that hushband and he is claiming to meet as biological father?
Yes so leave this to the courts.If they were married when the child was born he is automatically the father and you have to prove paternity by DNA to prove you are the biological father. Then you can ask for your parental rights and get visitation, pay child support etc. Get a lawyer.If you already is on the paper as the dad and have parental rights you need to ask for visitation. She can not refuse a court order. That is breaking the law and she can herself lose custody if she does.
Can a father relinquish his parental rights to an 11-year-old child who he just found out about?
yes the same way you sign over the rights when a child is born it's the same way years later you can still sign over your rights just as long as the mother is in consent and everyone is in agreement you can surely do that. * If the father was never aware of the child's existence then he has not established parentage and cannot relinquish rights that he does not have. If the issue is child support, the biological mother or legal custodian of the child must file a lawsuit for child support. Child support will not be addressed until parentage is established. If the male is found to be the father,arrearages will not be allowed if he can prove did not have knowledge of the child until the current time. After parentage has been established the court may or may not accept a request for the voluntary termination of parental rights from a biological parent.

If i sign my parental rights up and i am not the child's biological father do i still pay child support?
You will need to take a paternity test to prove you are in fact not the biological father. A man just was released from jail in Atlanta because it turns out he was not the biological father and had been previously jailed for falling behind on child support payments... Always take the test to be sure and then you can make the right decision.
