It can happen. Giving up one's parental rights, biological or adoptive, does not exempt one from having to pay child support.
If the child was adopted for real there should be papers signed by birth- and adoptive parents. The birth certificate is sometimes changed by the adoptive parents but not always. If the child was just handed to a relative and nothing was singed or they did not go to court for child support or there was no temporary custody signed, it gets trickier. Eye witnesses and people around could testify.
An adoptive social worker helps both the birth family and the adoptive family with support during the transition stage. The social worker will help the birth parents by referring them to counselors and will help the adoptive family by making sure they have all the resources they need for the child.
No. Only biological or adoptive parents are the ones responsible for their minor child/children.
Only in the very rare instance of a severely disabled child whose adoptive parents are unable to support.
Only biological or adoptive parents are responsible for supporting their minor children. "New" spouses are not legally obligated to financially support children of their mate's previous relationship(s).
No, only the biological or legal adoptive parent is financially responsible for the care of their minor child/children.
The only way that parental rights will be terminated is if both parents and the family court agree that it is in the best interest of the child to terminate them. Simply wishing to stop being responsible for child support typically is not sufficient reason to terminate because it leaves the child in the position of not being cared for financially. Adoptive parents become natural parents with all the rights and responsibilities that entails the moment the adoption papers are finalized.
No. Child support is mainly based on combined employment income of the 2 biological/adoptive parents. If either income changes higher or lower you can ask for an adjustment of child support.
Adoption is a legal procedure that requires the meeting of health, psychological stability and economic criteria on the part of the party wanting to adopt the individual. This requires an intense scrutiny by the authorities in your jurisdiction. Just being eighteen does't make it as a justification. Generally adoptive parents are preferable to the courts rather than single parents . The adopted party must be available for adoption (a child without parents or support).
Everyone who is not the biological parent or adoptive parent.
