Best Answer

There are two different factors here.

Parental rights are things like visitation and the right to have a say in how the child is raised. You can give those up.

Parental responsibilities are things like ensuring that the child is fed, sheltered, and receives adequate medical care. You cannot give those up.

So, yes, if you give up your rights to the child, you may still have to pay child support.
