I was able to do this in Georgia and now my husband has adopted my son. But the father has to not have any contact with you or the child for at least 6 months, no child support during that time either. I had no problem because my ex was in prison at the time I took it to court for drugs for his third time. So all the judge had to do was look and that and the fact he never had paid any child support or contacted us in 3 years. It costed us around $1500.00. And don't let people fool you we only had to pay $700 for the adoption.
Of course. Unless the non-custodial parent takes sole custody, the non-custodial parent is still responsible for paying child support to whomever the child goes to. There is no reason the death of a parent should terminate the other parent's child support obligation.
Yes, a parent in South Carolina can voluntarily terminate their parental rights. However, they may still be required to pay child support. Only adoption will absolutely terminate child support.
Termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.
I take it you want to terminate your child support, and you should be able to do so. However, you will need to go to court to get this done.
In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.
because the custodial parent passed away,
I suggest you consult with the other parent and an attorney on this. However, keep in mind that terminating parental rights does not terminate one's support obligation.
No, that alone is not a reason to terminate custody. The non-custodial parent should be paying child support.
no

You can't terminate your obligation to support your child. That type of order must be decided by a court and only when the child is being legally adopted such that another parent will be responsible for the support of the child.
no
