If I sign a relinquishment of my parental rights, do I still have to pay child support?

Termination of your parental rights among other rights/responsibilities ends your legal responsibilities to take care of your child. As such, your child support obligation may be eligible for termination. The signing of a relinquishment itself does not terminate the child support obligation. A court order to terminate the obligation must be entered. Until the Court enters an order terminating the child support order, the obligation will continue to bill each month. If you relinquished your parental rights, notify the Nebraska Child Support Customer Call Center at (402) 441-8715 or (877) 631-9973 (toll free).
