Probably legal fees and the back child support (if any) that you owe. * TPR petitions are not for the purpose of a parent to be relieved of obligations to their minor children. The judge makes the decision as to whether or not a TPR will be granted and to what extent. Such matters are decided on what is in the best interest of the child and not on the preference of parents or any other interested party. A TPR petition cannot be filed when there are arrearages in child support that has been ordered by the court.

Where do you live ? In Michigan the" Friend of the Court "handles child custody stuff ,each countyhas a branch, most of them have a handout that covers such questions . I would start with who ever it is that makes you pay the child support . Child support, and child custody have many different meanings , just because you don't havecustody doesn't mean you lose the right to make decisions about what happens with the kids. You still have rights . Are you male ? Have you heard of ADAM they have lawyers that can help answer questions about mens rights in such areas.

The a single, unmarried, obligor parent has no rights by virtue of paying child support except the right to request a visitation schedule. A separated parent, without a restraining order applied to him/her, has an assumed equal access and decision making to the children unless limited by a court ordered visitation schedule.

Unless you are paying arrearages you can go to court and ask that the custody order be modified to reflect the current custody arrangement and also that the child support order be terminated. If the payments you are making are back child support the other parent is still entitled to them because they were actually due when the child was in their care.
Go back to the family court and petition for a modification to the custody order and a termination of the child support order.

If a father is under a child support order that means his paternity has been established. He should request a visitation schedule as well. It should have been made part of the original hearing. He has the right to petition the court for joint custody and visitation rights. He should consult with an attorney as soon as possible.

What do you need to do if the man that pays child support to your child is not the father?

If you are not collecting Welfare, and your intent is to release him from the obligation, a motion will need to be made to the court, however if he already has parental rights, stopping support will not include stopping his access rights. Also, though the mother can file to suspend support, the man cannot in most of the country, whether he is the father or not.

Yes, with a court order. Of the two, a child is far worse off having no access to the father, and society pays the price. see link
