Paternity

In the State of Kentucky , when a parent will volunteer to terminate his parental rights, will that parent still have to pay child support?

My husband fathered a baby outside our marriage. The mother of the child is asking for him to sign over paternity. Paternity has never been established If he does this will he still pay child support?

My minor grand-son's mother has petitioned my son to have his parental rights terminated so her husband can adopt him. My son has had very little contact with his son from the age of two, partly because the son's mother has made it as difficult as possible and because my son has had mental health issues. He also has not voluntarily payed support but support has been garnished. I realize this probably constitutes abandonment and so my question is, does my son have a leg to stand on? He does not want to allow the adoption for several reasons. Also I, the child's grandmother have been involved in the child's life as much as the mother will allow me and I am afraid if my son does allow this termination of his rights I will no longer be able to see my grandson whom I love dearly. I have been told that grandparents have no rights in Idaho. My son would like to begin paying child support and having visitation with his son again.We are low income and cannot afford a lawyer so is there anything we can do?

If a single woman becomes pregnant and the father could potentially be one of three men and she is not interested in finding out and is not asking for support, does the potential father have any rights to force her into a paternity test so that he can be involved, support, and know his child?

I am a 59 year old woman whose birth was illegitimate. Can I still establish paternity through North Carolina court proceedings? Can North Carolina courts require my birth father and me to take DNA tests?
