Do children in foster care receive child support from parents?
The foster parents receive a set sum for each child from the state and the parents pay the state. Since it would be a very different sum for each child based on what parents can pay, the sum is set for each child and every state have this system.

Well of course it would be the other mans child regardless of whether you are married or not.
Clarification:
In some states, the husband is legally considered the father, even if he is not the biological father, and is financially responsible for the child. There are also some states in which the biological father has to pay child support to the mother, even if she is still married to her husband. So you really need to check on your state's laws concerning this.

IF Son is going to college does father continue to pay child support on PA?
Pennsylvania does not currently have that law.
Yes, until the father has established his paternity andarranged for a custody hearing if he wants custody.
Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must establish his paternity by signing the birth certificate at the time of birth (waiving DNA testing rights) which must be done with mother's consent. If he doesn't sign the birth certificate then he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity has been established by the means mentioned above the father can request visitations, custody or the court will set up a schedule of regular child support payments for the child if she is to remain in the custody of her mother.

What does Oklahoma law states about signing away your parental rights?
If you can find someone to sign your rights over to, (you do not sign the rights 'away', you transfer them) then US law can allow you to do this.
For example if a couple have a child and then get divorced, and the woman later remarries, she can request that the biological father signs their child's rights over to the new husband. The biological father is then no longer responsible for the child, the new husband is.
However a biological father cannot simply abandon his right just because he no longer wishes to support his child.

First of all, if there is a visitation order it's not the mother who decides whether you are allowed to see the child or not, it's the court and if the mother makes it impossible for you to do so she is breaking the court order. You then report this to the court that issued the order and they will deal with her.
