No. The child support goes to the parent who have custody to use to pay for the child. it does not go to the child directly. A runaway has no legal right to run away and if caught by the police they will bring him home. Just because you have not returned home does not mean you are allowed to stay away. If they have reported you as a runaway, anyone who helps you can be charged with helping or harboring a runaway with severe legal consequences.

If you give away parental rights do you have to pay child support?

Yes, you are STILL the person responsible for bringing the child into the world. You need to support them. The laws vary from state to state on parental rights and child support,So signing away your parental rights may not relieve you from paying child support.. However if one parent wants the other parent to sign away their parental rights,they can come to a legal aggreement that if the parent signs away their rights then the other parent will cancel any current child support and will not seek support for that child in the future,this of course must be done through the courts...

If you live in waco Texas can your babies father sign his rights away and not have to pay child support?

It would be very unusual for a man to escape his obligation by simply denying the child. It it much more likely that the state will demand child support until and unless there is another person who wishes to adopt and take legal responsibility for the child. If the man were able to simply decide not to pay that just transfers the financial support obligations to the state.
