Yes. Giving up their right to the child, does not forgive the responsibility of the parent to support the child.

In most cases if the other party terminated their parental rights (in a court of law-not just an agreement between the two of you) they would only be responsible for repaying what was due to you PRIOR to the termination. You can not ask someone to terminate their legal rights to a child and keep paying support. And judges are quite reluctant to terminate a parent's rights (except when the child/family is in danger from the individual) unless there is another party (new spouse) willing to adopt your child. This means that the new spouse is legally and financially responsible for the child.

Access, custody and support are all different issues. If you are the parent, you are probably still liable for support whether you see the kids or not.

Not if it was granted.
