Re: if my rights were taking away
Although your obligation to pay support from the adoption date forward was terminated, you may still be held responsible for back child support if you failed to pay previously ordered support.
Re: if my rights were taking away
When your child was adopted the adoptive parent became liable for supporting the child. Your obligation to pay support was terminated when your parental rights were terminated and the child was adopted.
Re: if my rights were taking away
Yes, your support obligations were terminated with your parental rights.
