Can a father not pay child support for a child he did not want?

A termination of parental rights petition can be filed in the appropriate state court where the child lives.
Whether the petition will be granted depends upon the presiding judge. The decision is based upon the best interest of the child and not the preference of any involved party. Therefore a petition can be granted in full relieving the parent of all obligations including financial ones, be granted with specified terms, or be denied.
A full TPR petition is seldom granted for any reason other than for the child to become eligible for adoption.
A TPR request is not intended to be used as a legal way to avoid personal responsibility.
