First, he should find out if the child is his. Is he paying child support? It's very difficult to do this unless it involves an adoption. If he's not under a child support order, he needs to determine if this is his child and start one. Depending on the state, she can wait until the child is 23 to file for up to 18 years of retroactive child support. see links below
No. He can sign over his rights but he would still be liable to pay child support. The only time he doesn't have to pay child support is if a stepdad wanted to adopt the child, then the biological father doesn't have to pay child support if he signs his rights away.
If you can find someone to sign your rights over to, (you do not sign the rights 'away', you transfer them) then US law can allow you to do this. For example if a couple have a child and then get divorced, and the woman later remarries, she can request that the biological father signs their child's rights over to the new husband. The biological father is then no longer responsible for the child, the new husband is. However a biological father cannot simply abandon his right just because he no longer wishes to support his child.
No, Because you are taking away all of his rights to yours and his child so he has no decision in the child's life anymore. Therefore, he does not have to pay.
The context is California law

You can sign away your rights, but you will still owe for child support. The child is yours.
A step-father will not be able to adopt a child unless the father signs away his rights. You can take it to court and win the case.
The father would need to legally give up his rights to the child or the court would have to take them away in order for the new husband to adopt the child.
You can sign your rights away but you will still have to pay child support if you are the father or mother of the child. There is no way to avoid paying child support.
Without more information to go on, it's rather difficult to give much of an answer. If it's his child, and he wants to be in the child's life as an active father, and he is not abusive to the child, then you don't. You don't try to force him to give away his rights as the father, nor do you do that to your child. Children have a right to know, and be with, their biological parents unless the parents are abusive. Is it a case of two teens and an unwed pregnancy? If so, he still has his rights as the child's father. If you don't want to raise the child, then give him sole custody and sign away your rights. On the other hand, if he doesn't want the responsibility of raising the child himself, but is not willing to sign away his rights, then that's a different matter. But there is no way to force him to sign away his rights. If it's a case where you and the child's father are not together, and he is not involved in the child's life, and you have a husband who loves and wants to adopt your child, then, again, there is no way to force him to sign away his parental rights. In all of the above situations though, if you have custody of the child, you can have the courts force him to pay child support.
In Colorado, a parent may not sign over their parental rights unless there is another spouse available and willing to adopt the minor child. This means, if a father wants to sign away his rights to his child that the mother's new husband must be willing to officially adopt the child.
The right to sign away your parental rights is not based on child support. Unless the child is being adopted the child support will still have to be paid whether you voluntarily give up your rights or not.
