If you drop all rights and custody of a child do you still have to pay child support?

It depends on whether your parental rights are terminated legally and the circumstances. If the child is legally adopted and you give up your parental rights voluntarily your child support obligation will end. The law wants children to be supported by two parents. Giving up custody and visitation rights will not free you from the obligation of child support.
