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.
The parents are liable for support to the State, unless/until the child is adopted. Losing one's parental rights does not terminate one's legal responsibility.
Terminating parents rights does not mean they don't have to pay for their child. If you as the grandmother is the legal guardian and have custody you have to go to court to petition for child support. If you don't have legal custody you have to get it first.
An adopted minor child has the same equal rights to financial support by the parents as does a biological child.
Yes. I am in Georgia and I adopted my niece. The biological parents were relinquished of all rights to the child, even child support responsibility.
Yes the mother can be a minor and petition for child support. She has the same rights as an adult in that case. Or I should say the child has the same rights regardless of how old the parents are.
Signing rights away will not stop any child support from being taken from the father. If the child is the fathers then he is financially responsible for the child weather he has rights or not.
Visitation and child support are separate issues. One does not depend on the other. Parents must provide support for their children. There are many variations in visitation rights and those do not generally affect child support obligations.Visitation and child support are separate issues. One does not depend on the other.

Yes, voluntarily relinquishing your parental rights does not excuse you from paying child support.
No, once a child is adopted, the original parent or parents have no more rights to the child. This also means that child support is not required.
Their rights start where the parents' rights begin. If the parents are actively parenting, the child is thriving and nothing illegal is going on, then the grandparents are honor bound to support, not supplant, the parents. If the parents are out of the picture, the grandparents can certainly apply to become guardians of the child.
Yes, until/unless the child is adopted.
