text: Only as of the day you totally give up ALL your rights to this child, through the legal system, will your child support stop accruing.  I wonder how old you are and if you are just financially strapped temorarily and it looks like a good way to reduce your obligations.  Are you sure you never want to be a part of this child's life?  Life has a funny way of throwing things into your life you can't imagine at the moment - be clear about this decision - it's more than just money involved.
