I think in all states unmarried mothers are elgible for child support. However they will want to establish the legal father of the child. This is called "paternity establishment."
Paternity can be established in the following ways:
• If a child is born to an unmarried mother, she and the man claimed to be the father can sign an "Affidavit of Parentage" to legally establish the father's rights and obligations.
• The mother and the man claimed to be the father can ask a court to determine the legal father of the child. Genetic testing may be necessary to determine the biological father of a child.

What is Florida law on signing over parental rights do you still have to pay back child support and current child support?
First, only the courts AND the mother can allow you to give up parental rights, provided the mother is not now, or in the future, collecting AFDC. It would stop current payments, but not previously owed payments, especially if she had had collected AFDC. They have override power.
If the father of a child gives up rights to his child in Florida does he have to still pay child support?
No, but he shouldn't try. He can file with the court to give up his rights, but it requires the approval of the mother, and she cannot be on Welfare, now or in the future. If she is, she gives up any right to child support and to making this decision.

I'm not familiar with Florida law but I'm sure the mother could keep the child in such a case.
Can a mother claim child support if her rights were taken due to drug charges?
No. If her parental rights have been revoked by the court she would not have custody of a minor child and therefore not eligible for funds to support that child. If child support were being paid before the mother's rights were terminated that support now belongs to the person(s) or agency having legalcustody of the child.
In Kentucky what is the law on signing your rights away and not paying child support?
You can sign your rights away but you will still have to pay child support if you are the father or mother of the child. There is no way to avoid paying child support.
