The form is relinqueshment of parental rights. Unless the correct form is used it may not be cognized by the court. Further a court usually will not terminate a parents rights unless it is for the purpose of allowing the child to be adopted. Once his parental rights are terminated he will not be responsible for supporting the child.

This can be done by a written document and filing with the court if necessary. Termination of parental rights is a serious issue and the parent must give a full, knowing consent. Please consult a local attorney to assist you. Good luck and thanks for inquiring.
