A parent cannot just 'sign away' their parental rights (which is a different thing than custodial/visitation rights). Termination of parental rights has to be approved by a judge. Generally speaking, judges are very reluctant to approve it unless it's for the purpose of adoption or the parent presents a clear danger to the child. They certainly will not approve it merely so the parent can avoid paying child support. If that were allowed, people would be lined up to do it, and then a big portion of those children would end up having to be supported by the taxpayers.

Can an illegal immigrant mother receive child support if she leaves country and father gives up all rights?

If the father Legally gave up his parental rights - (signed legal papers), then he is no longer legally responsible to pay child support for the child. Did he give up parental rights so you could remove the child from the country? A family member of mine had to have her baby's father sign away his parental rights so he would not have to pay child support when he entered the military. So - once parental rights are signed away Legally, the father has NO obligation to pay child support. You cannot have it both ways - you cannot have him sign away his parental rights, yet still expect him to pay child support.
