Are you still responsible for child support if you terminate your parental rights?

That is a complicated subject. Parental rights can only be terminated if there is some one to step in and fill your role as a parent, for example adoption. In this case if your child is being adopted by a family or a step parent, then you have no legal obligations to that child. Which includes child support. The answer above is completely wrong and actually does not answer your question. I am a custodial parent in Missouri. I had my daughter's biological father's rights terminated, because he failed to support her financially and morally for over six years. There was no adoption, and I am now her only legal parent. The answer to the question above is yes or no depending on the court order. You can either have your rights to your child terminated (meaning you will have no visitation or custody) or your rights and OBLIGATIONS terminated (meaning no visitation, custody, or child support payments).
