The only way to have child support payments stopped is to file a petition with the court asking them to do so.

Same is true when a parent dies ... the other spouse must petition the court to have the child support payments stopped.

No, when a child is a ward of the state, the state will assume all financial (or other) responsibility.

Another view:

This may vary from state to state or in different circumstances. In Delaware, if a child is placed in custody to Division of Family Services (DFS), BOTH parents must pay child support to DFS during the time the child is in DFS custody.

However if one parent wants the other parent to sign away their 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...
