Re: Who pays Child Support

If you child is adopted by another family you do not have to pay child support. If the child is just in foster care, the state may seek reimbursement from you for costs of foster care. Children do not get adopted unless both parents have waived parental rights or had a court hearing that terminated their parental rights.
