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.

If the child is being placed for adoption yes, otherwise the court may involuntarily rescind parental rights in certain (and dire) circumstances. Note that terminating parental rights often does not terminate child support obligations, again, unless the child is being adopted.

If the child is being placed for adoption or legal guardianship yes. Otherwise, no, parental rights may not be relinquished "just because".

In very specific circumstances, parental rights may be involuntarily terminated by the court.

There are really only two ways you can voluntarily terminate your parental rights. A - The child is determined to not be yours, B - The custodial parent requests it, for example, if they are remarrying and want you to transfer the rights to the new partner, and you agree to this. There is never any scope to terminate the rights 'just because' you want to.
