Does a parent have to be married in order for other parent to sign parental rights over?
Don't know if I'm right on this but it seems like you have things a bit mixed up so I will give several answers:- If you want to give up your parental rights the other parent does not have to be married for you to do so. Both parents have parental rights so you can't sign those over the already biological parent. If they have been removed by the court or he/she have given them up, it's up to the court to decide if they can get it back. You cannot give them your parental rights.- If you are giving up your parental rights so the new partner of your ex can adopt, it depends on the law of that state if boyfriend/girlfriend is allowed to adopt or not when unmarried. They will be evaluated and the court finally decides.- If you mean signing custody over to your ex, no he/she does not have to be married and can openly live with their new boyfriend/girlfriend.

How do you terminate your parental rights as a father if you adopted him because your ex-wife had him prior to your marriage?
If you legally adopted the child, you would terminate your parental rights the same way you would with a biological child. Get a lawyer and go to court.

According to the law, you are the child's father and you will be required to pay child support. Terminating your parental rights will only relinquish your custody rights and your ability to make decisions on behalf of the child.
