The right to sign away your parental rights is not based on child support. Unless the child is being adopted the child support will still have to be paid whether you voluntarily give up your rights or not.

Can you just have a custody order in place and no child support order?
Yes, as they are separate issues. However, a custodial parent can request a child support order at any time. Also, some jurisdictions do not allow parents to decide that the non-custodial parent will not pay child support. The view is that every child is entitled to be supported by both parents. If the custodial parent doesn't need it then the payments should be placed in a savings account to pay for college. Also, if the custodial parent and child are receiving any assistance then the non-custodial parent will be required make payments to the state.
What state will allow you to sign over parents rights and if they do will you still have to pay child support?

Can a non-custodial parent receive alimony?
If the parents are getting divorced, you might be able to get spousal support ("alimony" or "maintenance") for a brief period to allow you to become self-sufficient.
Can the custodial parent stop the back pay you owe in child support?
It depends on the state you live in. Some states allow the custodial parent to opt out of child support. Other states don't give you that option, and will collect the child support even if the custodial parent refuses to accept it.
How can I stop paying child support for a child that Ive never seen and doesnt know me When the mother will not allow me to be part of child's life?
Child support and visitation are separate matters. If you do not have court-ordered visitation rights, get them. If you do, go back to court to enforce them - the law is taking an increasingly dim view of custodial parents who deny court-ordered visitation.
What if the custodial parent does not allow the child to see the non-custodial parent even though the court said she can - does the non-custodial parents still have to pay support?
Child support and visitation rights are two entirely different issues. The terms of visitation should have been determined before divorce proceedings and finalized when the divorce decree was awarded. The court generally prefers the parents reach an amicable agreement for reasonable visitation by the non-custodial parent. If specified days/times have been ordered by the court the custodial parent must allow visitation or risk being in contempt of a court order.
What can be done so your husband does not have to pay child support for a child born from an affair or could he obtain custody?
Any biological parent can petition for custodial rights to a child. However, the law always presumes that the unmarried mother has sole custodial rights to a child unless the situation is such that the child is being abused or neglected. That being the case the court could terminate her parental rights thereby allowing the unmarried father to file for custody. Once child support is ordered it can only be rescinded or amended by the issuing court, an act that judges rarely allow. Minor children are the responsibility of both their parents regardless of the circumstanes and that is as it should be.
Will an obligated parent still be responsible for back child support if they voluntarily relinquish their parental rights and the custodial parent agrees to waive the arrearages?
Assuming that the support was paid to the custodial parent and was not through the state's division of child enforcement then the court might waive the debt. Generally a voluntary relinquishment of parental rights is granted to allow the child/children to be eligible for adoption. A TPR is not meant to be a legal venue for a parent to be relieved of the financial obligation to their minor children.
Is it state law that a parent HAS TO pay child support when the other parent tells the judge that they do not want or need it?
No, the custodial parent can waive it but if she needs benefits from the state the other parent has to pay child support since it's parents obligation to support their child. If she waives it and needs it later on the case can be opened again. However, you should be aware that a judge may not allow the waiver since the child is entitled to the support of both parents. If the custodial parent doesn't need the money then it should be placed in an account for the child to use for college expenses.
In the state of Oklahoma if a noncustodial parent gives up all parental rights to her child does she still have to pay child support or can it be dropped?
Courts usually only allows parent to give up parental rights if the child is being adopted. But if they would allow her, it would be for the custodial parent to decide whether they would need child support or not. If they need support from the state the state will go after the mother first.
How can you allow visitation by the biological father with his child who has been adopted by the spouse of the child's biological mother?
There are no laws that would prevent the child from vistation with her biological father as long as her custodial parents agree. The biological father has no legal grounds to seek vistation or custody if the adoption were done according to the laws of the state in which it occurred. Visitation must be voluntarily agreed to by the custodial parents and the child under the terms that they establish. The visitation rights can also be withdrawn by the custodial parent(s) if and whenever they so choose. It would be in the best interest of those involved for the custodial parents to establish guidelines (boundaries) before visitation is allowed.
Can parents take their kids where they want?
Not everywhere they want; places that don't allow persons under a certain age are still off-limits. Non-custodial parents have limits on where and how far they may take their children, away from the custodial parents, and may need special permission to visit a faraway place.
