from paying child support..

parental rights,they can come to a legal aggreement that if the
parent signs away their rights then the other parent will cancel
any current child support and will not seek support for that child
in the future,this of course must be done through the courts...
Asked in Foster Care
Can one parent put their child in foster care?
Not as long as both parents have parental rights. If one parent
gives up his parental rights which is required when putting a child
in foster care, the other parent is the first one in line to take
the child since she still have her parental rights. This assuming
both are fit to parent.
If the parents are not married and the father has not proved
paternity in court and got his parental rights he should do so asap
and then he has rights to the child. The social workers usually ask
relatives first if they are interested in taking the child. There
is a shortage fo foster families and staying with family is
considered best for the child.
