Legal Question in Family Law in Illinois
can i have my daighters father sign off rights?
I was never married and I have a daughter. Me and her father agree it would be best if he signed off rights. Would he ever have to pay child support if he did?

Re: can i have my daighters father sign off rights?
Hello. If someone adopted
your child, the father would
be relieved of paying child
support. However, he would
not be relieved of paying
child support in most of
the other possible arrangements, because the
law in Illinois views child
support as belonging to the
child and not the custodial
parent.
