If you truly mean rights (such as visitation), you can just walk away. However, In Indiana, a father cannot "relinquish" parental obligations such as support unilaterally. This is true unless something else happens such as the mother remarries and her new husband legally adots the child or the child becomes legally emancipated. Otherwise, you sre stuck, so to speak, with the obligations of a father until the child is an adult. Interesting to note that the woman can relinquish her obligations to a child before (abortion) or after birth (adoption) but that in no state does the father have any post-conception decisions.
If you relinquish your rights you are not entitled to visitation.
Relinquishing one's parental rights does not terminate one's child support obligation.
The step father would have to adopt the child. For this to happen, the biological father would have to relinquish all rights through the court system.
