Any time a parent releases custodial rights it must be done through the Family Court.
If this other man is the child's step parent then Dad can voluntarily terminate his parental rights through the court and then step dad can adopt the child. But Dad can't just sign his rights over to any other man. Legal guardianship of children must be accomplished by court order.
The court always considers the welfare of the child(ren) before anything else. The father might be allowed to relinquish parental rights, but he would not be relieved financial obligations, such as child support, medical coverage and so forth.
There has to be a very good reason or the courts don't allow it(you CAN'T sign over parental rights to avoid paying child support). If you have a valid reason you would want to contact an attorney. Person seeking parental rights would have to go through the court system to have them terminated from someone else.
A biological father cannot be forced to relinquish his rights to his child simply because the mother wishes it to be so, the act must be voluntary. In some cases the court has the power to terminate parental rights of either the father or mother or both if circumstances warrant.
no, you can't unless there was another "mother" willing to adopt the child because you have a legal obligation to support the child. thus you would have to pay child support even if the child lived with his/her dad.
Any father can sign over their parental rights.
A father can sign over parental rights to the child's grandfather. This is something that is actually done quite often.
If the mother in question is financial able and has shelter and means to support the child then most definitely.
Like a father wishing to do this, it must be approved by a judge, however this does not cover financial responsibility.

Custody, not parental rights.
No, in order to have a step parent adoption, the birth father's parental rights must be permanently terminated.
no, changing the birth certificate requires adoption, and can only be done if the birth father's parental rights have been terminated.
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. A biological parent cannot be forced to relinquish parental rights it must be done voluntarily or said rights terminated by the court for reasons of abuse and/or neglect.
