Legal Question in Family Law in California

relinquishing parental rights

my fiance's ex had a child after they split up and says it's his we haven't done paternity test yet but he says if it is he would like to relinquish his rights because she will only use the child to get at him and doesn't want that for the baby just a footnote he didn't find out about the child until it was two days old and it wasn't from her i have read up that even if you sign over your rights you are still required to pay would this be an exceptional case since she didn't tell him? no doubt he has responsibilities but she is being so manipulaitve and we are about to move 2000 miles away we will never know him i am a mother myself and am so confused by this situation any advice??
