Termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.
If you are not the biological father of a child, you may not have legal rights or responsibilities for that child, such as custody or child support. It is important to establish paternity to determine parental rights and obligations.
Paying child support will not cause the father to lose his parental rights - neither will not paying child support.
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."
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.
The right to petition the courts for the right to see and support his child.
If the father signs the birth certificate, he legally acknowledges paternity of the child. This means he may have rights and responsibilities, such as custody, visitation, and child support.
Child support remains.
How does he have any visitation rights with a custody and child support order?
An unmarried father cannot "choose" to not pay child support. The laws in every state require that a father pay for the support of his child. The mother must bring an action to the appropriate court so that a child support order can be established. Visitation rights are separate and a father can have visitation rights established by the court. Visitation rights are not dependent on paying child support.
Generally, no.

A parent cannot simply sign away their rights to a child. There are many factors that come into play in the state of Mississippi. If the child is abandoned by the parent then their rights can be stripped but they will still have to pay child support.
