If the mother is receiving any kind of assisstanse, yes, they will open child support case and pursue it.
If the mother isn't receiving any kind of assistance from the government, she can waive the right to child support from the father, but it wouldn't be in the child's best interest. Child support is the child's right, not the mother's. If the mother were really well off financially, or if she didn't want the father anywhere around the child, she could waive the child's right to support. The father has a responsibility to help take care of the child he helped bring into this world.ClarificationGenerally, in the US, a mother cannot legally waive a child's right to support from their father. A child is legally entitled to be supported by both parents. However, the mother can choose to not involve the court if the parents were never married or if there will be no divorce action filed. However, if the mother doesn't want the money she should put in a college fund for the child.
No. Support and visitation are separate issues.
Yes. She can wait up to 18 years, than file for retroactive child support. see links below.
You will still have to pay back if any owed. After you sign you won't have to pay anymore because all your legal rights to the child will be terminiated. If Mom agrees to let you voluntarily terminate your parental rights, then, no, you won't have to pay child support going forward (but will still have to pay any arrearage unless Mom agrees to forgive it). But DO NOT do this if it not what you want to do. If you want to be a father, fight for it. Get court ordered visitation, then if Mom refuses to allow you to see your child, she can be held in contempt of court.

You go back to court and file the papers to do so. The forms are readily available if you want to file them yourself.Another PerspectiveHowever, you should be aware that in the United States most jurisdictions will not allow a mother to waive child support from the child's father. The reason is that the child is entitled to the support of both parents. If the mother doesn't need to money then it should be deposited in the child's name, perhaps for college or whatever the child decides when they reach the age of majority.Also, if the mother is receiving any type of financial assistance the state will pursue child support from the father.
Yes, you do.

The child support is for the child so maybe out it in a account for the child is a better idea and it will be appreciated one day when it's time to move out. If there's a court order for back child support you have to go through the court.
None of them can sign over anything. They can go to court and ask to have their rights removed and the custodial parent can ask to have the child support stopped but this means she can not get benefits before he has paid.
Pay your child support through either the courts or the State disbursement unit. DO NOT give any money or anything else to the obligee unless you want it to be considered a gift.
Technically you can not beat child support unless you are sincerly unable to aford to pay or are in Prison for a national defence.
Yes, but she can wait up to 18 years to file for retroactive child support. see related question
yes it can for they want to be more innderpendant and show you that they can be responsible
It's too late now. If you didn't want children you needed to plan ahead before your ex partner got pregnant. There are ways to avoid conception. As the child's father you will have to pay child support as long as the child's mother files a petition for child support.
