The same rights as women to abort their responsibility for a child. Any such move has to be approved by the courts and the mother, provided she's not on Welfare. see link
My question is what forms can i get online for a father to sign over his parental rights.
yes
Custody, not parental rights.
That is a decision made by the court. A court can grant a partial or complete Termination of Parental Rights if the judge feels it is warranted for reasons other than said parent is relieved of his or her financial obligation to their minor child/children. Generally voluntary TPR's (those requested by a parent) are only granted when a child is being legally adopted.
No, see link.
If you're referencing a custody change, you need power of attorney.
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.

Only if specifically named.
Parental rights and child support are two different issues. Signing over your parental rights has no effect on your payment obligation unless the ending of the payment obligation is mentioned on the document.
In the state of California, a person goes to court to sign over their parental rights. Many people believe that by signing over their parental rights relinquishes them from having to pay child support, this is incorrect unless the child is adopted.
No, but if you want a relationship with your child you can petition the court for parental rights and contact. That would be a good thing.
