Yes, he is still the father.
Well if the Bio father is unaware of the baby then I don't believe he has to pay child support because the mom decided that the father didn't need to know about the child and if the child is adopted (like me) either by a step dad or by a different set of parent AND the father know about the child Then the father would need to pay back child support.
Yes. He also owes ongoing (current) support, until/unless the child is adopted.
Yes, when either the mother or the state department of revenue files a complaint for child support against him. The court will issue an order that can include back support.
No. If you adopted a child and the mother cancelled the adoption, you should owe nothing.
Termination of parental rights does not terminate child support until/unless the child is adopted. At that time, the biological parent still owes whatever he had been ordered to pay and has not paid.
I doubt there were many child support laws back then. Normally, only the custodial parent of the child can file for child support, not the actual child.
As long as you're not on Welfare, contact child support enforcement.
An unmarried father cannot "choose" to not pay child support. The laws in every state require that a father pay for the support of his child. The mother must bring an action to the appropriate court so that a child support order can be established. Visitation rights are separate and a father can have visitation rights established by the court. Visitation rights are not dependent on paying child support.
Yes, but get a court order confirming this.
Terminating parental rights does not mean you are no longer obligated to support the child so you still have to pay child support. Unless the child is adopted. You will have no rights to the child at all if you have your rights terminated and the court will not give them back so be sure what you are doing.
Provided that it doesn't involve payment for arrears, than yes.
A father cannot petition for emancipation, the child has to. And it doesn't relieve him of paying back support payments.
