If your rights were in fact terminated then you do not owe support but you may owe arrears up to the time your rights were terminated. Your ex can agree to waive all the arrears too.
Having your rights suspended is completed different than having your rights terminated. If your rights are suspended, they can be restored, so child support continues throughout the suspension. Also, not having a job does not stop child support.
