A father can give up his rights in Pennsylvania under certain circumstances. Before he is able to do so, he and the mother must go to court so a judge can determine what is in the best interests of the child.

You are under the obligation to care for your children, morally and legally. The mother may releave you of the legal issue, the rest is still valid. If you make a baby, you should pay for that child. It is your flesh and blood!

Usually not, unless the child is being adopted. Terminating rights does not end child support obligations otherwise. It only terminates your right to visit your child and have any say-so in their lives.

An unmarried father cannot "choose" to not pay child support. The laws in every state require that a father pay for the support of his child. The mother must bring an action to the appropriate court so that a child support order can be established.
