Generally speaking, once parental rights (which is a different thing than custodial rights) are terminated a person is no longer responsible for child support. However, you cannot just "sign over" your parental rights. Parental rights can only be terminated by a judge, and unless it's a case of adoption (where someone else is willing to assume your parental responsibilities), the judge generally says "no, I won't allow it"

∙ 10y agoIf you were married to the mother when the child came or if you were not and have been to court to prove by DNA that you are the biological father so you get your parental rights, you can also petition for custody and visitation. Custody is usually shared though unless the mother is unfit. if you have not been through the court and is not paying court ordered child support, you have to go to court to prove paternity first and you can then petition for your other parental rights. Custody, visitation and child support are all separate issues in court. Child support is a legal obligation and does not automatically lead to other rights. You have to petition for them separately.
