You can not surrender your rights. If the other parent is married and the spouse wants to adopt the child you can give the child up to that person, depending on the state and situation. Or if you AND the other parent give the child up for adoption. The law prevents parents from doing this because so many tried to do this to get out of their responsibilities.
Yes, unless/until the child is adopted.
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.
yes
Signing over one's parental rights does not does not terminate child support.
In Illinois, even if a father signs over his parental rights, he may still be required to pay child support unless a court formally terminates those rights and obligations. Signing over parental rights usually involves a legal process, and child support obligations typically remain in effect until that process is completed. The court's priority is the best interests of the child, which often includes financial support. It's advisable to consult a family law attorney for specific guidance in such situations.
No. He can sign over his rights but he would still be liable to pay child support. The only time he doesn't have to pay child support is if a stepdad wanted to adopt the child, then the biological father doesn't have to pay child support if he signs his rights away.
no
Basically, you can't do this. You cannot unilaterally relinquish your obligation to provide support for your child.
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.
When you relinquish your parental rights so the child can be adopted you are no longer responsible for paying child support. You are liable for support until/unless child is adopted.
by "signing over rights" I persume you mean, terminating her parental rights and no, she is not obligated to pay child support, however, any accumulated back child support, or "arrears" is required to be paid, unless agreed otherwise. For this you would have had a prior order to pay support prior to the terminating of the mother's rights. When your rights to a child is terminated it is as if the child was never yours and your rights to the child, and obligation for the child are forever terminated.
Yes he does.
