    If parental rights are terminated, am I still required to pay child support?
    I am the legal father of a 9 year old boy. I have seen this child twice since he was 6 months old. We live several hundred miles apart and I have had no contact with his mother or him since he was 2. I pay child support and am considering relinquishing my parental rights. Will I still have to pay child support?

    I am the legal father of a 9 year old boy. I have seen this child twice since he was 6 months old. I have paid child support all of this time. I am considering giving up my parental rights. We live in Texas. Will I still be responsible for child support?

    There is a "sticky" at the top of the Family Law forum which addresses signing away parental rights; here is a link to it:

    It is difficult to sign away your rights and in most cases, a judge will not allow it unless there is another party willing to adopt.

    If I can ask, why have you not been involved in your son's life? Why haven't you fought to see him more often?

    Tammysk,

    That's actually none of your business. Focus on your own life.
