Unless the order specifically states otherwise, termination does not erase any support due prior to the date of termination, including retroactive support.

Yes. You must pay until the child support order has been terminated by the time set forth in the order, or terminated by the court. Even if the order is terminated you will still owe any arrearages.


What happens in the state of California if a father signs over his rights?

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.

If a mom signs over her rights due to defiant behaviors from the minor child is she obligated to pay child ssupport?

by "signing over rights" I persume you mean, terminating her parental rights and no, she is not obligated to pay child support, however, any accumulated back child support, or "arrears" is required to be paid, unless agreed otherwise. For this you would have had a prior order to pay support prior to the terminating of the mother's rights. When your rights to a child is terminated it is as if the child was never yours and your rights to the child, and obligation for the child are forever terminated.
