A TPR is usually only granted when there is another parent (usually in the case of the custodial parent remarrying) looking to adopt the child or the parent is unfit to be a parent and it is in the best interest of the child (and in some cases the best interest of the parent, like cases of rape for a woman) to have the parents rights terminated. In most cases of TPR, all obligations of support cease but so does the right to know anything about the child, visits, and any communication. It is as if you are a stranger on the street.

I mean this question out of complete curiosity, but do you have any evidence or citations of law to support this? I have never read any state law where a TPR is granted but the responsibility of support continues. Granted, I have not read every states laws regarding TPR, but generally a TPR means that the "parent" and child are treated as virtual strangers in the eyes of the law and all obligations, including support, cease.
