In Connecticut can a father give up parental rights so he doesn't have to pay child support?
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 a 14-year-old try living with the other parent without having to go to court in Florida?
A 14 year old can't decide which parent to live with as a juvenile. That determination is made by the court. If everyone's okay with the decision, the court papers wouldn't necessarily have to be changed, though it would protect the parents. If, however, both parents are not amenable to the decision to move, a parent would have to petition the court for a change in custody orders.
What does your court order say about moving out of state? Does the non-custodial parent take part in visitation with the child? How screwed up do you want the child support to become?
The adult way to handle this is to have a conversation with the other parent and let them know your intentions, why you are moving and the impact this will have on visitation. If the other parent visits regularly the order will have to be rewritten (if the other parent wants it to be) to allow for travel, how is the child going to get back and forth, how much time will be spent with the other parent, etc.

Does a father have a chance for full custody?
yes he does but it all comes down to the situation of the parents and the children. if courts see that the mother isn't fit to be a good parent, they give the father full custody!!
ANSWER:
The best way to answer your question is to ask this one to yourself: What is in the best interest of the child? If living with the father is the best situation, then it needs to be fully proved in court.
If the father is not on the birth certificate does he have parental rights in Texas?
No. An unmarried father has no right to keep the child from her mother unless there is a court order to that effect. He has no personal legal authority to keep the child. In the absence of any order, if he takes the child and fails to return the child to the mother she should call the police.
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 is established in court, the father can request visitations or custody through the court. If the mother retains physical custody she can request that the court issue a child support order. If the father gets physical custody he can request a child support order.
How much child support do you have to pay in Virginia?
