Assuming that the support was paid to the custodial parent and was not through the state's division of child enforcement then the court might waive the debt.
Generally a voluntary relinquishment of parental rights is granted to allow the child/children to be eligible for adoption.
A TPR is not meant to be a legal venue for a parent to be relieved of the financial obligation to their minor children.

Would a mother have to pay 6500 in back child support if she is awarded custody of the two children who are now in their father's custody?
Yes. The arrearages would be due regardless of whether the mother is awarded joint or full custodial rights. The judge would have the option of offsetting the arrearages if custody is altered and the father is ordered to pay support, or take other similar action. Additionally, in such cases, the judge will refuse to rule on custodial issues until the arrearages are paid or resolved to the satisfaction of the court. It is also possible that the judge could sentence the delinquent parent to jail time and/or seize property or ganish the income of the delinquent parent to pay the arrearages. Unless the custodial father voluntarily relinquishes his custodial rights or the court has reason to believe he is incapable of parenting, the mother has very little chance of being awarded custody as she has demonstrated a lack of responsibility to her children by her failure to honor her financial obligations.
If your child is adopted without your knowledge do you have to pay child support arrearages?
That is not possible unless fraud has been committed by the custodial parent. Before a child is eligible for adoption all legal steps must be completed as outlined by the laws of the state in which the child is a resident. A biological parent must voluntarily relinquish his or her rights to the child or have those rights permanently terminated by the court. An adoption cannot proceed until the above litigation is completed and a final TPR decree granted. When a child is legally adopted by a new spouse or by a qualified party, the responsibility of financial support by a biological parent(s) is terminated. The court will address the issue of arrearages and if they are applicable before the adoption becomes final.
Can a lien be placed on the non custodial parent's car for back child support?

The custodial parent can relinquish rights to child support payments by simply having such a statement notarized. This is not possible if there is a court order of child support in place.
