Summary
There is an adoptive father to take over responsibilities, do I still have to pay child support until it is final? |
“Was wondering if I give up my parental rights, and yes there is an adoptive father to take over responsibilities, do I still have to pay child support until it is final?”
Your obligation to pay support will likely continue until the adoption is complete. Obligations are good as long as someone is willing to enforce them.
