You cannot terminate parental rights automatically because of visitation and child support. It is advised to seek advice from an attorney for the next steps.
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.
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.

The only way that parental rights will be terminated is if both parents and the family court agree that it is in the best interest of the child to terminate them. Simply wishing to stop being responsible for child support typically is not sufficient reason to terminate because it leaves the child in the position of not being cared for financially. Adoptive parents become natural parents with all the rights and responsibilities that entails the moment the adoption papers are finalized.

All parental rights? That depends on state law where you live (or country if outside of the US). Some states have no provision for voluntary termination of parental rights and in most cases, those that do only allow it in preparation for adoption (sole physical and legal custody by one parent doesn't count). And even if you can terminate your parental rights, that will not terminate your obligation to pay child support. All it will do is terminate your right to see your child and have any say-so in their life.

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. However, keep in mind that if you legally adopted the child, terminating your parental rights does not terminate your legal relationship with the child. 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.
Because they are two separate issues. Legally, what seems like common sense does not always translate to procedural requirements.
You would need to petition the family court in the county of jurisdiction over the case and provide clear and compelling reasons why parental rights should be terminated. If the child in question isn't being put up for adoption, this will not be an easy thing to do. You cannot relinquish parental rights "just because" although the courts may involuntarily terminate parental rights in very specific and dire circumstances.
