In many states, you can voluntarily terminate your parental rights, but in doing so, that does not absolve you of certain parental responsibilities, such as child support. All it does is strip you of any physical presence or decision making in your child's life. If you're going to be paying support anyway, why would you want to do that? Children need both of their parents.

What will happen if the mother doesn't want the father to have paternal rights?

In the UK, if you are married when your children are born, you both automatically have parental rights. If you are not married, then you have to apply for parental responsibility rights, if the mother does not want to share that with you. This can be done by court order. After 2003, if not married but father is written on the birth certificate, that is enough to have parental responsibility and all that that entails. Not sure how it is for you guys in the USA!
