How do you drop rights over to a child that you pay child support for and don't get to see?
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. If you want to see your child, bring the custodial parent into court.

Do stepdads have rights?
The simple answer is no. Perhaps a better question is "Do stepfathers have a legal responsibility to stepchildren?" Those 2 issues are inter-connected. One cannot have 'rights' without responsibilities. Perhaps a stepfather who is separating from the Bio mother and wants contact might argue years of meeting his 'responsibilities' Perhaps the Family Court will take this into account in unusual cases. More than likely where the bio dad is no longer present. In general though, Stepfathers DO NOT have LEGAL responsibilities to the stepkids - so in turn NO LEGAL RIGHTS either.

Can you sign over parental rights when the child dont want to see the parent?
yes
If a parent has a court order to pay child support is it legal for the custodial parent to keep the child from them?
Depending on the state laws, no, it's not legal. If the parent has acknowledged their parental rights on a birth certificate, they have paternal or maternal rights to visit or see the child regardless of monetary trade. If a parent has NOT been placed on a birth certificate/acknowledged parent rights, they legally do not exist as a parent to the child and therefore do not have rights or responsibilities, unless first undergoing either a DNA/Paternity test or admitting to the conception.
