The duty to pay child support stems from the simple fact that both parents contributed some of their genes to make a baby, and that's something you just can't get out of. It's a biological fact that has nothing to do with the ages of the parents, their marital status, or whether both parents have maintained or want to maintain a relationship with the child.There are only two exceptions: if the child is born as a result of assisted reproduction - in that case, the donor is not, by reason only of the donation, the child's parent, and adoption of the child.

The So - the only two ways to get out of an obligation to pay child support are toif:

*have the child lives with you for the majority of the time, in which <span class="noglossary">case</span> the other parent <span class="noglossary">will</span> be required to pay child support to you, or*if you give the child up for adoption, in which <span class="noglossary">case</span>, following the adoption, you <span class="noglossary">will</span> cease to have any obligations at all toward the child.
