He can give up paternal rights, but he will still have to pay child support. * File a voluntary relinquishment of parental rights petition in the appropriate state court in the county of residence. The judge will decide if the TPR is to be granted and if so to what extent. If the judge feels it is in the best interest of the child for the father to be removed from his or her life then child support obligations can also be terminated.

Giving up parental rights has nothing to do with paying support. As the natural father, you are obligated to support the child the mother will be raising and can be ordered to do so by the court. You made the decisions; the consequences are yours. Think of the child and his or her needs through childhood. Would you want to be left behind because your father didn't want to support you?

Not until the parental rights of the biological father have been terminated.There are a couple ways to do that:The bio father gives his consent and voluntarily surrenders his parental rights.You go to court and can get them to involuntarily terminate his parental rights; this one is much more difficult: if the bio father has abandoned the child, isn't paying child support, is in jail or is a danger to the child (or something similar), you may have a case, but if he's visiting and paying support you will have to go with the first option.
