In most states no matter if it is an agreed voluntary signing over the father will still have to pay child support until the child is officially adopted. I actually went through this with my ex and they told him until our daughter is adopted he will pay child support.

Visitation rights are separate and a father can have visitation rights established by the court. Visitation rights are not dependent on paying child support.
