No, as he no longer has standing in the court.

Yes, unless the child is adopted.
None of them can sign over anything. They can go to court and ask to have their rights removed and the custodial parent can ask to have the child support stopped but this means she can not get benefits before he has paid.
Generally, no.
The father doesn't have to sign over his rights for you to receive pubic assistance.His signing over his rights does not terminate his child support obligation.
yes
The father cannot relinquish his parental rights until the divorce decree has been finalized. When that is done, he can file a TPR suit it may or may not be granted and he may or may not be relieved of his financial obligation. Relinquishment of parental rights is generally granted to allow the minor child to become eligible for adoption by the new spouse of the custodial parent, not so the non custodial parent can escape his or her financial obligations.
Only if specifically named.
That depends on state law where you live. It can vary.
If what is meant by the term "legitimate" pertains to whether the father is responsible for supporting the child, then the answer would be yes. Once paternity has been established either by the signing of the birth certificate, a declaration of parentage or by DNA testing the father can be held responsible for support of the child and likewise he is entitled to petition for custodial or visitation rights.
No. You would be signing away your rights to visitation. A parent generally signs away their rights in preparation for a legal adoption.
The two do go hand in hand.
