Yes signing over custody is not the same as giving up your parental rights. You still have the right to visitation for example.

What does it mean to retain parental rights but lose custody?
It means you have lost your right to physical and legal custody but you are still eligible to request visitation rights. Without parental rights you have no rights whatsoever in regards to your child.
Can you still see a child that you have no parental rights over?
No. You no longer have any right to see the child. It is up to the person with legal custody and they may or may not allow you to visit with the child. If your parental rights were terminated it is likely that you will not be able to see the child.
If you drop all rights and custody of a child do you still have to pay child support?
It depends on whether your parental rights are terminated legally and the circumstances. If the child is legally adopted and you give up your parental rights voluntarily your child support obligation will end. The law wants children to be supported by two parents. Giving up custody and visitation rights will not free you from the obligation of child support.

Can the mother who has full custody of a child still receive child support from the father who has not seen the child in 3 years after the father s parental rights are revoked?
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.
If parental rights are still in effect does a parent have a legal right to see his or her child?
A parent is the biological or legally adoptive mother or father. If you have lost custody of your child you are still the child's parent in that sense. If you have allowed your child to be legally adopted you may not be in their life but you are still their parent in that sense. In a legal sense you can no longer make any decisions for the child and have no parental rights.

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"
