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.

∙ 13y agoActually, that person is wrong. If you sign over your parental rights, you are giving up any and all reposibilities for this child to their mother. It is that same as if you were going to give the child up for adoption, you wouldn't pay the adoptive parents for taking it would you? No. You basically are adopting the child onto the mother and so you have no more rights to say how the child is raised and whatnot, and would no longer have to pay child support seeing how legally, the child is no longer yours at all. All physical and financial reposibilities would be gone. But the mother does have to agree to this and also sign the paperwork saying she wants this, and also, if you have any back child support you have not paid you will still have to pay it unless the mother signs the paperwork saying she will "forgive" that and doesn't care to get it.

Giving up parental rights has nothing to do with paying support. As the natural father, you are obligated to support the child the mother will be raising and can be ordered to do so by the court. You made the decisions; the consequences are yours. Think of the child and his or her needs through childhood. Would you want to be left behind because your father didn't want to support you?

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.
