depends if the family court accepts the signing over of rights, most won't just to avoid paying child support.

I would contact you local child support agency and ask them. I know my ex husband signed a form like that when his son was first born (he didn't know what he was signing) and he still had to pay child support. He didn't have any type of custody rights to his son (him and his sons mother still worked something out) so he didn't have any rights as far as making decisions for his son, but was still responsible for child support and health insurance.

PARENTAL RIGHTS ARE USUALLY SIGNED OVER AT THE MOTHER BEHEST. THIS IS USUALLY DONE SO THAT THE STEP FATHER CAN ADOPT THE CHILD IN QUESTION. IF THE COURTS EXCEPTS AND TERMINATES THE PARENTAL RIGHTS OF EITHER PARENT THEY WILL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR SUPPORT.

That depends on the terms of the agreement.
If that was all it took, then every deadbeat dad who's supposed to pay support would sign off his rights and be done with it.
Too simple a fix.

No, once parental rights are given up they are no longer responsible for that child.

No! BY signing off on their parental rights, basically they're saying "this aint my kid no more" and the child is an orphan.
Poor kid.

No.
Once they sign over rights they have nothing more to do with the child.

It's up to a family court judge.
