What to do about the voluntarily termination of parental rights and child support?

It was not a choice made easily but after fighting in court for years for my children and being defeated I was broke and could not afford my monthly child support payments and survive with one income. My children are in custody of my parents and they are in the process of adoption. I signed the paperwork last July. Two weeks ago I received a income deduction order to have my child support taken out again. They have taken the money from me once and plan on continuing. I would like to know my rights regarding the child support, seeing how it was agreed by both parties i would not be required to pay.

If the adoption has not happened yet then your obligations still continue. Given the uncertainty that you are writing about you should consult withy a family law attorney to assist you in the matter.
