Generally no, a DA might try to strong arm you into doing it. In the state I reside in, and I am a child welfare worker, the state generally moves to terminate a parents right, and if the parent fights it, they should have a trial to do so. But if your charged with neglect, and you dont work a case plan, and the state is unable to reunify you with your child, they can move to terminate your parental rights.

No. If the biological father wants to assert parental rights he may file a petition with the court to order a paternity test taken. If presented with such an order the mother must comply or be held in contempt of court.

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.
