Yes he may, however that does not terminate his obligation to pay child support unless the child is adopted. Otherwise, all relinquishing parental rights accomplishes is terminating the father's right to see his child or have any decision making powers in the child's life. Not such a good deal, when you think about it.
Relinquish his rights, yes; however, doing so will not terminate his child support obligation.
Yes, if the court allows him too. He will still have to pay child support.

No. Once the court has granted the petition for parental rights to be terminated it is permanent. The parent(s) who voluntarily relinquished cannot have them reinstated. A permanent termination of parental rights by a court (not voluntarily) can be appealed under certain circumstances.
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.

It really depends on how the parental rights are divided and should be specified in your divorce/support paperwork.
Not without the other parent agreeing to the relinquishment of his or her parental rights as well. Any parent can file for the voluntary termination of parental rights. It is the judge's decision whether it will be granted, and if so, to what extent. A TPR is not a legal instrument to be used as a way for a parent to be relieved of their responsibilities to their minor child or children.
Yes. But it doesn't affect support payments. That is still determined by the state, not EITHER parent.
Not at all. Terminating parental rights is a court process by which you either voluntarily relinquish your parental rights or there is serious danger posed to your child such that the court does it without your consent. Either way, when parental rights are terminated, the parent has no more rights to the child. Losing custody can be a temporary thing and does not change your parental status.
