  • Yes, because someone is still is caring for a child you helped create. And what a good father. So suppotive and loving of your child. And so responsable too.
  • It depends on why you are relinquishing. If you are relinquishing your parental rights for an adoption proceeding, then no. But if you are just giving up your parental rights because you don't want to care for the child, then yes.
  • You are not likely in a position to relinquish your rights unless there is someone ready to step up and do a step-parent adoption or other adoption. You will be obligated for child support from the borth until the date of the adoption if that were to occur. Perhaps you you should be asking questions about how to negotiate a fair child support award instead.
  • If you voluntarily relinquish your parental rights...and allow someone else to adopt the child...(to my understanding) from that day, you're not obligated to pay support for the child. However, anything that you haven't paid up to that day is still owed as back support, so you're not getting out of anything. And what a punk ass move, might I add.
  • So you are saying that your need to not pay child support is bigger than the need to not be a part of your childs life, how is that child gonna feel? Anyways, no...unless she want the child to be adopted...you back child support will still be owed.

  • Just because you no longer want your children does not mean that they cease to exist in the world. They still need a roof over their heads, clothes, and to eat. YES you will still be obligated to pay child support. It's called responsible parenting.
  • heres a senerio.. my daughter is mentally retarded and handicapped due to her mother drinking, smoking, and getting high during pregnancy. i did the paternaty test and i am the father. i payed child support every week since then. i also delt with harrasment, physical abuse from the mother and her bf's.. i am now remarried and expecting a child. this situation is becomming unbarable to my wife and i. we want are child to live in a world without crazy ex girlfriends daddy had. we don't want to subject our child to these behaviours and we want to make sure he/she will be safe. i love my daughter with all my heart, but my family can't take this anymore. the law does nothing to help us. we have been in court every month since my daughter was born. i have lost two jobs, and i now work two just to make ends meet. with the current child support order i can't afford a home for my wife and baby. does a human deserve this treatment? maybe the mother should get off her lazy ass and go support the child she wanted to have just in a sad attempt to keep me around! thats one good reason why someone would be asking these questions...
  • awful how could you shame on you
  • shame on you
  • Yes, you will still be obligated to pay child support. Just because you don't want to pay for your child doesn't mean you don't have to. Shame on you for even considering it!!!
  • You shouldn't be... but the law is always on the side of the mother. I'm sure the father who has been in and out of court has tried and failed to gain custody of his daughter in order to remove her from what any reasonable person would assume to be a terrible living environment. Women want the right to choose...what about the man's right to choose not to be a father? How many women out there intentionally trap men with babies? How many women claim to be on birthcontrol? Why do women feel they have both the right to choose whether to carry a baby to term and decide when a man will and will not become a father? Why should you be able to have it both ways? I'm sure some of you out there will say that a man makes that choice when they sleep with a woman...and that's rediculous! How would you women feel if men demanded a child from you just because you choose to sleep with them one time? Its ridiculous! Its time we restored a man's right to choose when and with whom he wants to become a father with.
  • You will still be obligated to pay for child support unless the mother's boyfriend or current husband is willing to adopt the child in question. The law clearly is on the mother's side and the money you pay for child support most of the time end up being spent lavisly on things not related to your child. A woman from Florida confessed to her friends that she uses child support money received from the non-custodial parent on sexual aids and objects that she uses for herself. How disturbing is that? Yet there are no laws that make the mothers or custodial parents account for the money received from child support. Hence, currently they are allowed to use the child support money received in any way they see fit with no questions asked. That needs to be changed...
  • This is one of the greatest weapons ever created for women to destroy men. Child support is one of the worse thing a man can face besides going to Jail or accused of being a terrorist in this great USA. Women tend not mediate on child support amounts eventhough the men or Non-Custodial parent are truly unable to pay for the high amount of child support set by the guidelines. The goal of these women is to drag the ex-husbands or ex-boyfriends down to their knees and render them unproductive for 18 to 20 years until the time the child is emancipated or capable enough to sustain his/her own life financially. This is especially true if the break-up or divorce was a bitter one. The judge will still force you to pay for child support eventhough you Voluntarily relinquish your parental rights. Unless the mother of the child allows the currently boyfriend and husband to adopt the child. The system is set up in such a way that the judges have to rule in favor of their mothers in order to show that the borrage of arsenal made to the disposition of the mothers are actually working in humuliating, in finding, in incarcerating, and in forcing the fathers to comply the rules and regulations, all in the name of child support. Most Fathers under the current system become simply wallets instead of supporters of their children, and the hidden consequences of all these law enforcements are basically Animosity, hatred for their ex-wives or girlfriends and even for their own children. The current laws need to be changed since too many men are so deeply affected by it and their lives are ruined. The Majority of men if not all would love to comfortably support their children by providing monetary and emotional support for them, but the moment they are dragged and forced to pay an amount that they cannot afford to live by with their own family, then it becomes an abuse. Women throughout the states use child support as weapon to destroy lives of many many men. This practice needs to stop.
  • NO! If your parental rights are terminated by a judge all current child support stops. But if you owe back child support you have to continue to pay that until it is paid in full to the child and the mother...
  • Yes you will - you can relinquish your rights but you cannot relinquish your responsibility!
