Q: If father signs rights away, does he still have to pay CS even if the mother says she doesn't want it from him?
A: A parent cannot sign their rights away without another person adopting the child or the court terminating his or her parental rights due to an action or inaction that the parent did the child that caused such a great harm or danger to the child. If a 3rd party adopts the child of the court terminates the parent's rights then the parent who was obligated to pay will no longer be obligated to pay child support for that child
