It depends on the stipulations of the agreement to sign away parental rights. If it was just a case of signing them over, no. If there was a stipulation that child support be paid, then yes.

If a mom signs over her rights due to defiant behaviors from the minor child is she obligated to pay child ssupport?
by "signing over rights" I persume you mean, terminating her parental rights and no, she is not obligated to pay child support, however, any accumulated back child support, or "arrears" is required to be paid, unless agreed otherwise. For this you would have had a prior order to pay support prior to the terminating of the mother's rights. When your rights to a child is terminated it is as if the child was never yours and your rights to the child, and obligation for the child are forever terminated.
