Did mother give up rights to the child?

Regardless, if a mother gives up full custody of her children, she loses her right to make decisions regarding her child. All parenting decisions are the sole responsibility of the father or the person who has legal and physical custody of the child. However, the mother may retain visitation rights with her child.

How does child support work if you live in different states?

Usually, a state court may enter an order requiring payment of money from a parent who lives in another state only if that out-of-state parent has a specific connection to the other state. This connection gives the court something that is known as personal jurisdiction or jurisdiction over the person.

What if non custodial parent lives out of state?

If the noncustodial parent lives in another state or U.S. territory, DCS can ask the other jurisdiction to establish or enforce a support order. Once the case is sent to another jurisdiction, the other jurisdiction has control over most of the actions taken on the case.
