It's not something you just "do". Very few courts will allow a parent to walk away from their responsibilities. Usually there is a history of neglect and/or abuse, where the court is already involved. Regardless of the circumstances, the child is the top priority. You might be able to relinquish custodial rights, but not financial obligations. Be that as it may, you can speak to the Family Court Clerk in your jusrisdiction and he/she will inform you of the process for the state you live in.Don't expect it to be a pleasant experience though.

This is usually done preparatory to an adoption. Signing away one's rights does not terminate one's child support obligation.
Yes, until/unless the child is adopted.

In the state of California, a person goes to court to sign over their parental rights. Many people believe that by signing over their parental rights relinquishes them from having to pay child support, this is incorrect unless the child is adopted.
Yes, but the reverse is not possible. She has an universal right to abort her responsibilities to a child, regardless of age.
By whom?
Only if the document you sign specifies that your child support obligations are ended with the signing of the document. Do not assume signing over your rights automatically frees you from child support obligations!
I don't see why the mother's marital status would be a barrier. However, keep in mind that signing over one's parental rights does not terminate a child support obligation.
No, a father cannot simply sign his rights over. There has to be extreme circumstances for a father to be granted his rights terminated.
