Re: child support
You cannot just give up your parental responsabilities. However, a court will not make you pay so much child support that you cannot live on what you have left. I don't know how you got the figure of $500 but there are statutory guidelines. Even if according to them, you still were supposed to pay that much, because of your special circumstances, you could petition the court to deviate from the guidelines.
