He can give up his parental rights (this usually happens as part of the adoption process), but his support obligation continues until/unless the child is adopted. There is no "right not to pay child support."

How does the father who has never seen the child and is paying child support give up his parental rights?

He can give up paternal rights, but he will still have to pay child support. * File a voluntary relinquishment of parental rights petition in the appropriate state court in the county of residence. The judge will decide if the TPR is to be granted and if so to what extent. If the judge feels it is in the best interest of the child for the father to be removed from his or her life then child support obligations can also be terminated.

What happens in the state of California if a father signs over his rights?

Terminating parental rights does not mean you are no longer obligated to support the child so you still have to pay child support. Unless the child is adopted. You will have no rights to the child at all if you have your rights terminated and the court will not give them back so be sure what you are doing.
