:confused: Can a man who doesn't even know his child and because of the mother he never will, can he give up his rights as a parent or does he have the right to get custody and he is not on the birthcerificate. And if he gives up his rights does he still have to pay support if the mother has a job and gets welfare.

He may be able to give up his rights but that does not stop child support.
For the women to get child support she will have to prove he is the father by DNA test. But yes the man can get part custody or at least visits, and force it though the court
