With some exceptions,child support is not paid directly to the child because it is not "the child's money" - it is compensation to the custodial parent because they are raising the child alone. Child support must be paid to the custodial parent or legal guardian.
However, if the child is no longer living with the custodial parent (in the case of an emancipated minor or a child 18 or older who is a full-time student), the court can be petitioned to have the money directly paid to the child.
You should contact the child support agency in your state. They have the ability to garnish the absent parent's wages, place liens on bank accounts, real estate and other assets, and intercept tax refunds and other government payments, even if the absent parent lives in another state.
Be polite but persistent. Good luck!
Well, once you have been determined to be the child's father and been ordered to pay child support you can request a visitation schedule at the same time. Once your paternity has been established legally you do have parental rights that can be enforced via a court order.
you have the rights to your children because its your money and love that you paid for child support
If you're ordered to by a court, then yes. You can give up your parental rights; you cannot give up your parental responsibilities.
Not without a court order. They are separate matters.
no absolutely notType your answer here...
Child support is paid to support the child and follows the child; it is paid to the child's custodial parent, or to a guardian. So if the mother has lost her rights, she is no longer custodial and therefore may no longer have charge of the funds. Child support will still have to be paid though and this time also by the mother, to the one now taking care of the child. If the child is being adopted you pay until the adoption is finalized.
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.
You need a lawyer for this one, and yes, you do have rights because you have #1 been lied too and #2 paid child support. This case would go to court and you may win. Be sure you have all cancelled checks for what you paid in child support. Good luck Marcy

No. If her parental rights have been revoked by the court she would not have custody of a minor child and therefore not eligible for funds to support that child.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.
You can't fully relinquish your rights until that back child support is paid. So you have to either pay it first or the custodial parent voluntarily waives it.
Yes, but don't expect the UK to honor your access rights.
In general, support is paid to the parent or other caretaker who has custody of the child (or to the State as reimbursement for assistance furnished).
As far as I know, all of them.
by "signing over rights" I persume you mean, terminating her parental rights and no, she is not obligated to pay child support, however, any accumulated back child support, or "arrears" is required to be paid, unless agreed otherwise. For this you would have had a prior order to pay support prior to the terminating of the mother's rights. When your rights to a child is terminated it is as if the child was never yours and your rights to the child, and obligation for the child are forever terminated.
Termination of parental rights does not terminate child support until/unless the child is adopted. At that time, the biological parent still owes whatever he had been ordered to pay and has not paid.
None of them can sign over anything. They can go to court and ask to have their rights removed and the custodial parent can ask to have the child support stopped but this means she can not get benefits before he has paid.
