Re: Modify Child Support
Even if his parental rights were terminated, he'd still owe back support. With that said, terminating parental rights is not up to your daughter. It's not even up to you, unless you have someone waiting in the wings to adopt her.
Re: Modify Child Support
Termination of parental rights can only be done through the courts, and for sound legal reasons, not because he doesn't want to pay back child support. Even if his parental rights were terminated that does not absolve him of paying back child support. There is some law in Illinois that even requires a parent to continue paying child support even though his/her rights were terminated. Get a lawyer and go into court to enforce the court's rulings.
Re: Modify Child Support
No, he needs to pay the support payments.
