no Giving up your rights to your child in no way protects you from paying child support. Having rights protects you; financial support protects your child. You may want to consider what it means to be a parent even if you don't want to be involved in your child's life. This is a responsibility of yours, like any other moral and financial obligation. All states have procedures for the voluntary relinquishment of parental rights. The court generally grants such a petition to allow the child(ren) to become eligible for adoption by the new spouse of the father or mother or other qualified persons. The non-custodial parent who files for TPR and meets all requirements may or may not be allowed to be relieved of all parental obligations including financial support of biological children. Such decisions are made by the presiding judge and cases are adjudicated based upon their individual merit.

If a parent chooses NOT to have any contact with their biological child for over a year can their parental rights be terminated?
If your parental rights were terminated and your child was legally adopted your chances are slim that any court will reverse that order. Think of your child. If the child was adopted and has adapted to a new family it would be extremely disruptive to remove the child from that home. There must have been extreme circumstances for the court to terminate your parental rights in the first place. Your problems and instability should not continue to affect the child. You should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options, if any, or your lack of rights to be involved in your child's life.
You want to adopt your stepson and his mother has had no contact for over a year how long does she not have to have contact so you can file for adoption?
Regardless of how long she has been absent from his life you will have to have her parental rights legally terminated prior to being able to adopt. There are laws in most states governing the time period before the state will consider the child to have been fully abandoned and will grant a petition to terminate rights. I believe that in IL for example that term is 1 full year. Contact is defined as no visits, phone calls, corrospondence, child support payments or attempts at any of the above; so in your case you would need for her to have not made any attempt to have seen him, spoken to him, sent a card, or paid a child support payment. Another option is to ask the mother to voluntarily sign away parental rights and allow you to adopt him, although if she is unwilling to do so you may risk restarting the clock by getting in touch with her and making your wishes known.

Can the biological mother sign over parental rights to biological father?
Any time a parent releases custodial rights it must be done through the Family Court. If this other man is the child's step parent then Dad can voluntarily terminate his parental rights through the court and then step dad can adopt the child. But Dad can't just sign his rights over to any other man. Legal guardianship of children must be accomplished by court order.

If the child's father has never had contact but pays support how can the mother end all his parental rights if she no longer needs the support?
My understanding (in the State of Ohio) is that Ohio counts support payments as "contact"; thus, even if the non-custodial parent never showed up (in my case for nearly 6 years) the State of Ohio says "well he's been paying support so we count that just like him having continual weekly contact with the child". I feel this is total BS but what can I do, besides move out of state (incidently, my ex not seeing my child gives me a great advantage to move out of state, however - so i'd be better off moving than staying here. go fig) It's doubtful the court will terminate his parental rights if he's providing financial support (even if he hasn't maintained contact with the child). However, you can contact him and see if he'd be willing to voluntarily terminate his parental rights, in which case the court might agree to allow that. And, he may be willing to do that because that means that he will no longer have to pay child support.
