A parent cannot just 'give up' their parental rights (which is a different thing than custodial/visitation rights). Termination of parental rights has to be approved by a judge. Generally speaking, judges are very reluctant to approve it unless it's for the purpose of adoption or the parent presents a clear danger to the child. They certainly will not approve it merely so the parent can avoid paying child support. If that were allowed, people would be lined up to do it, and then a big portion of those children would end up having to be supported by the taxpayers.
Yes.
In general, parental rights are terminated either preparatory to an adoption, or after a trial in which it is determined that the parent is unfit. In any case, termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.

Yes, a father can give up his parental rights but he still have to pay child support.
That is a decision made by the court. A court can grant a partial or complete Termination of Parental Rights if the judge feels it is warranted for reasons other than said parent is relieved of his or her financial obligation to their minor child/children. Generally voluntary TPR's (those requested by a parent) are only granted when a child is being legally adopted.
Relinquishing one's parental rights does not terminate one's child support obligation.
Yes. You should make certain the arrears have been verified by the court. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in custody issues to help you negotiate with your children's father to give up his parental rights.
The mother's right is to sole legal and physical custody of the children and the right to obtain child support for her children. Depending on her state of residence, the mother may also petition the court to have the father's parental rights terminated or request the state do the same if she cannot do it herself. Termination of parental rights does not terminate child support obligations.
