Legal Question in Family Law in California

Adoption of my children to stepparent

Once I start the process for a legal adoption of a child to the step parent, do the child support payments stop or do I have to keep paying when the petitioner (who is dragging their feet on signing), I signed my half over a month ago...but they are demanding more $$ for support. They drew up papers for me and served me.
