Can teen parents sign over rights to their child to another teen couple?

'Signing over their rights to a child' sounds like adoption here. Most states have laws set about who can adopt. Usually people over the age of 25 and / or married couples. Not to say that you cannot adopt under the age of 25, but I do believe that you must be at least 18 to adopt a child in some states. Minors under the age of 18 are not considered adults, and therefore cannot adopt children.

Do you have to pay support for step child age 6?

Only if you've adopted him/her. If so, then you are obligated to pay child support (after a divorce with the child in question's parent, of course) until they are 18 years of age. But if you didn't adopt the step child, then you owe nothing, regardless of the child's age.

If she signed her rights over years ago do you still have to pay back support when the 2 kids are over 21?

If signing away rights, then other people take over raising your children, but you will still have to pay support money for the children until they become of age, and sometimes longer. If some people adopt the children, then they also accept the cost of the children as if they were their own. If you have fallen behind on paying support money to your children, then the government will still carry on trying to get the share of mony for the children even after they are adult. This until the "debth" is payed out in full. Regards.
