Re: termination of parental rights

You can terminate only if the mother agrees. You are stuck with the child support.

Hello. You will need to talk to a family law attorney. To give up your rights, it's just a matter of a simple form that your attorney will file on your behalf with the court. The judge will almost never deny your request, and the mother should not be able to fit it. However, make sure you talk to your attorney about your responsibilities up to this point, regarding child support.
