Re: Child Support
If a parent's rights are terminated, that severs all relationship to the child, including visitation AND support. So, if the parent's rights are terminated, he/she is not required to pay child support from that point forward, but any support owed through the time of termination will likely still be due and payable.
If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
