When you terminate a parent’s parental rights, you also terminate their obligations. That means they would no longer have a child support obligation.

I have found a link that shows that FELONY assault of child or sibling is grounds for termination of parental rights in NC. I was wondering if it is possible to terminate rights but the other parent still have to pay support for the child. I have heard you can and I have heard you can’t get it. Thought I would ask so I would know for sure… :slight_smile:

Thank you so much for your time in helping everyone that has questions.
