North Carolina Termination of Rights and Child Support

[NCFan29]

My question involves child support in the State of: NC

So I am divorced and living in another state. My ex has sole physical custody of the child. I still pay child support and I want to know that when I terminate all parental rights to my child do I still have to pay child support? I have not seen the child in a year and I do not talk to or want to have relationship with said child. I understand that I have responsibilities but the child is well taken care of. I just need to know if it in fact would be possible to be excused from child support obligations? Thank you

Nope. Just because you want to stop seeing your child, does not mean the child stops eating, sleeping etc..., you are responsible to continue paying your share of that.

Not unless there's a stepparent willing to adopt.

You don't have to have a relationship with the child, but you do have to support the child.
