Do you have to pay child support if you sign over parental rights?

Depends on if you live in a state where you can "sign over your rights." In some states/courts agreements between parents where one parent says "I relinquish my rights" is meaningless. However, adoption will typically relieve you of any future support obligation but all arrearage will remain (unless waived).

A Different Perspective
When you relinquish your parental rights so the child can be adopted you are no longer responsible for paying child support.
