No. The biological father may not have known he was the father. Also, he did not file a petition for child support against you- the child's mother did. If you had any doubts you were the father, and if the child's mother was sexually active with other men at the time of conception, you could have requested a paternity test at the onset. You should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options under your state laws. You may have an action against the child's mother.

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?
