No... because if you are paying child support it would be going to the person with physical custody.
No, she should be paying it.
I don't see how the parent not paying child support play any role in custody for the grandparents. If the parents are found unfit the grandparents have a chance for custody just like other relatives do. The biological parents are still the ones paying child support. Not being able to pay child support does not make you a unfit parent.
no, because they have no reason to believe the parent in question is not paying.
They have to adopt the child, otherwise you should pay.
Signing away custody rights does not relieve a parent from the obligation of paying child support. In fact it pretty much guarantees that she will be paying child support. However, she is not required to pay it until there is a court order for it.
No, that alone is not a reason to terminate custody. The non-custodial parent should be paying child support.
You should contact your attorney. It is likely that you should be paying the support to DSS.
Yes, if the father is not given custody he will be obligated to keep paying support to whomever the court awards custody or guardianship of the children.
The only way to stop paying child support is to go to court and request that the custody and child support orders be modified.
My answer to that would be 'No'. The father is responsible for providing child-support regardless of who has custody of the child; at least until the age of 18.
