Child support

Dear Mr. Vess:      I am assuming you are asking whether you will still be required to pay child support.  Please understand that you cannot just "terminate your parental rights" because you do not want to pay support.  If there is another individual willing to step into your role (i.e. a potential stepparent) then there can be an agreement to terminate your rights, since the stepparent will take up that role.  Absent such a situation,  or where there is a state intervention to terminate your rights for abuse, abandonment or neglect," your obligation stays.   Cindy S.
