In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.
Signing over parental rights simply relieves you of the duty to make decisions about the child. You would still have to pay child support.
No, just because you sign your rights, does NOT relieve you from financial responsibility.
The parent that pays child support does not need to pay child support for her child`s kids, only the current right parent.
Most states do not allow a child to collect back support as an adult. Although the right to child support belongs to the child, support is payable to the custodial parent to assist in the care and upbringing of that child. If the custodial parent did not receive that support, then she (or he) made contributions that should have come from the other parent, and the right to collect the back support belongs to her.
yes
Regardless of whether a parent pays support or not - the custody agreement determines who has rights. So if your child's father did not pay support but wants to see the child, and he has joint custody, he has every right, by law. This may not be morally right but it is legally right.
In the US, at least, child support is regarded as a right of the child, not the parent. So yes... a child, even an illegitimate one, has a right to the financial support of the parents, and the mother can bring a suit on the behalf of the child.
Only if the owed parent is deceased
Sole custody is when only 1 parent has the right to choose where their child goes to school, which doctor they see, and what religion they partake in. Child support is the money that the non-custodial parent will pay to help support the child.
That issue is affected by state laws and court orders and separation agreements. You need to find the answer before claiming the child. In some states the working custodial parent has the right to claim the child as a dependent regardless if the non-custodial parent pays child support in recognition that the parent with custody generally spends more time and money on caring for the child.
No, not unless they are specifically addressed in the child support order. The obligor does not have the right to designate where child support payments will go. They are to be paid to the custodial parent. Any other payments will be viewed as voluntary or gifts.No, not unless they are specifically addressed in the child support order.

This may depend on the laws where you live. It's quite common for an order for child support to be put in place regardless of whether the non-custodial (or paying) parent is present or not. Child support is the right of the child.
In Most states child support is separate from custody. Even if the non custodial parent is not paying child support he / she can request to visitation. because the parent is in arears does not hinder him / her the right to visit the child. both visitation and support are doen separately. Uunless there was a divorce that stipulates the arangement.
