Giving up your rights as a parent requires legal steps--it cannot be just a verbal notification. As far as child support, by rights you should be paying for the child until it reaches adulthood--it is just the right thing to do. If you need to adjust the payments due to your circumstances, you should do it officially through the courts.
Termination of parental rights does not, in itself, terminate child support.
yes he does
He will still have to pay support until/unless the child is adopted.
Yes, he can be. see links below
No, but he shouldn't try. He can file with the court to give up his rights, but it requires the approval of the mother, and she cannot be on Welfare, now or in the future. If she is, she gives up any right to child support and to making this decision.
Yes, unless/until the child is adopted.
Giving up rights does not alter the fact that the child is his. If he gives them up so the child can be adopted, then he may be relieved of the payments.
Only if the courts grant his request to terminate his rights. If they don't then he can still be legally responsible to pay.
Yes, until/unless the child is adopted.

Yes unless the child is adopted by a step-parent or someone
