If a father signs away all rights and stops child support does the mother have to agree?

Yes. The court's job is to decide what is in the child's best interest. Even if the father does not want to see the child, why would it be in the child's best interest to give up child support for the child? There are, of course, exceptions, such as when the father is so bad for the child that giving up child support is better than having him around.

∙ 14y agoA father cannot 'sign away all his rights' in order to free himself of the obligation to support the child. It could only be done if there is another adult, such as the mother's new husband, who will legally adopt the child and assume financial responsibility.

Can the mother move with the child if the father and her agree on child support amond themselfves?
By law, child support belongs to the child. Therefore, parents cannot agree between themselves to waive or reduce child support, either past-due or current. The venue that issued the order must approve any such agreement.
What can you do if your ex is pregnant and you want the baby to have your last name but the mother does not agree?
Assuming that the couple are not married, the law presumes the unmarried mother has sole legal rights to the child and is not legally required to use the father's surname. This will apply even in matters of child support or the biological father receiving custodial/visitation rights. The exception would be if the biological father received full custody of the child, the court would allow the child to bear the father's surname for reasons that would be in the child's best interest and not that of either parent. The person "reporting" the birth (normally the mother or both parents) can call the child any name they wish.

Unless there is a court order. The mother has presumed custody and full parental rights. For a father or non custodial parent to have ordered visitaton a court order must be obtained. Sometimes the court will require a paternity test also. If is an amicable relationship, then it is whatever you two agree to. REMEMBER, regardless of the mother and fathers relationship and how they feel about one another, the individual mother child and father child relationship is extremely important and NEVER use the child(ren) as a tool or weapon.

What are the steps and obligations involved when an unmarried mother is seeking child support?
The first step would be to establish legal paternity. This requires filing documents in court and is typically accomplished through DNA testing which can be done voluntarily with the alleged father's consent. If he does not consent, the mother can petition the court to order the putative father to submit to testing.Once paternity has been established, the father can then choose to pay child support and request visitation rights or he can choose to terminate his parental rights. In some cases, the termination of rights would also end the obligation for child support, especially if the mother has remarried and her new husband wishes to adopt the child. Some courts will also allow the mother to agree that she no longer needs the financial support. However, there are just as many cases where the father is allowed to terminate his rights but must continue to pay support for the child. Remember, the court always uses the "best interest of the child" standard and if it is deemed that the financial support is needed, then the father is responsible until the court says otherwise. If the father chooses to keep his parental rights, the court will issue an order to address child support, custody and visitation arrangements. In the event that paternity can't or hasn't been established, the court will not order the alleged father to pay child support. He can however, voluntarily choose to accept the responsibility.

A child's biological father can have his name added to a child's birth certificate regardless of whether or not the mother agrees to it. If the biological father voluntarily relinquishes his parental rights and the child is legally adopted by another man, his name can be added to the birth certificate in place of the biological father.
Can a 12 year-old child be emanicipated from his mother to go live with his father who pays child support even if the parents were never married?
Laws regarding emancipation vary by state, but in most cases, a child must typically be at least 16 to petition for emancipation. Even if a child is not emancipated, custody arrangements can be determined through the legal system to allow a child to live with the non-custodial parent if it is in the child's best interest. It is advisable to consult with a family law attorney for guidance specific to your situation.
