Re: Giving Up Rights
Unless there is a step-father waiting in the wings to adopt your son, then you will almost certainly have to continue to pay child support. Terminating one's parental rights comes down to a question of best interest for the child, not for the parent and while you may not see yourself as dad of the year, the courts will prefer you there (at least when it comes to support) rather than no one.
