Clear evidence of child abuse
This would vary by state, but basically the court would have to believe that it is in the best interests of the child that he/she not have a legal relationship with the parent.

Can you terminate parental rights if the absent parent is paying suport
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 there is not. In Arizona a parent may only terminate their rights voluntarily in preparation for an adoption. In other cases, the courts may terminate rights involuntarily in certain and dire circumstances. Both scenarios are after the birth of the child, not before. Until an adoption is legalized or if adoption isn't going to happen, the parent's obligation to support their child does not end with the termination of their rights. All that does is terminate the parent's right to see their child and have any say-so in their lives.

I suggest you consult with the other parent and an attorney on this. However, keep in mind that terminating parental rights does not terminate one's support obligation.
