Yes. The father may be able to terminate his rights but not his obligation for child suppor unless someone has stepped up and adopted. If that is the case, then it should be in the courts decision. A father just can't sign his rights over unless there is a second person willing to adopt said child.
Paying child support will not cause the father to lose his parental rights - neither will not paying child support.
Relinquishing parental rights does not terminate support; however, generally, adoption does.
Even if he is paying, he has no rights until court granted.
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.
No, giving up your parental rights and paying child support are two separate issues. You will still have to support your child.
Giving up parental rights has nothing to do with paying support. As the natural father, you are obligated to support the child the mother will be raising and can be ordered to do so by the court. You made the decisions; the consequences are yours. Think of the child and his or her needs through childhood. Would you want to be left behind because your father didn't want to support you?
Termination of parental rights does not terminate one's child support obligation.
Not until the parental rights of the biological father have been terminated.There are a couple ways to do that:The bio father gives his consent and voluntarily surrenders his parental rights.You go to court and can get them to involuntarily terminate his parental rights; this one is much more difficult: if the bio father has abandoned the child, isn't paying child support, is in jail or is a danger to the child (or something similar), you may have a case, but if he's visiting and paying support you will have to go with the first option.
No, voluntarily relinquishing your parental rights does not excuse you from paying child support.
When you relinquish your parental rights so the child can be adopted you are no longer responsible for paying child support. You are liable for support until/unless child is adopted.
Termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.
One does not mitigate the other, so it would be up to a judge to grant both requests.
