Answer:
In Arizona, a parent can voluntarily terminate their parental rights, which often relieves them of child support obligations. If the father has voluntarily terminated his rights and continues to pay child support, he may be able to stop these payments unless a court order requires him to pay.
If there is a court order in place, he must file a motion with the court to terminate the child support payments, citing that his parental rights and obligations have been terminated. The relevant statute regarding termination of parental rights is found in Arizona Revised Statutes (Ariz. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 8-533(B)).
