No. The money isn't for the mother. The money is for supporting the child. Back child support belongs to the estate of the deceased and will eventually benefit the child. And even if the child should die, the back child support does not go away.

If a mom in Oklahoma signs away her rights to a 14 year old does she still pay child support?

The court will decide. Giving up your rights does not fulfill your obligations to support the child. Someone has to support the child, and you are the mother.


In Pennsylvania if you sign over your parental rights to the child's mother do you still have to pay child support when the baby is born?

You might. There are two different concepts going on here. One is parental rights; you can sign those away because they're yours. The other is the child's rights. You can't sign those away because they're not yours, and the child can't sign them away because as a minor he or she is legally incompetent. One of the child's rights is the right to support. If the child's mother is supporting the child fine on her own, she's not legally obligated to seek support from you, so you might not ever have to pay support. If the child's mother's situation changes so that she's no longer able to support the child on her own, you might wind up having to pay child support. If she's on any form of government assistance, the government may insist upon it.

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.


How can you know if a child has been taken away from her mother if the mother does not want to tell the father of the child or the father's family?

One would assume the father has access rights and would figure out the child no longer resides with the mother. He will be notified that the child support will be going to a different receiver. see links below

Do you have to pay child support if you live in Texas and the mother of your child including your child live in another state?

Yes, the location unless living in your home doesnt take away your obligation to support the child. In fact, if you have no custody or visitation it actually increases your financial responsibility.
