Normally no, while you can let him give away his rights, this is normally only done for another man to adopt the child.
Normally because of several reasons, one is the states, if you were to ever have to claim any welfare from the state, with the child, the state as long as the person is the father, has a obligation to be paying child support, which will ofset some of the welfare. So what you need to do is go to court to get full custody, no visitation, and mim child support, ( he has a obligation to pay if he wants to or not, and the child has a right to that money) |

You can't just "relieve" him of any financial or parental responsibility. Once he's a father, the responsibility is his, whether you and he want it or not. The only thing you can do is not have a paternity test done, thereby not having him adjudicated to be the father. This deprives the child of the financial support the father would otherwise have to pay on his/her behalf. It also opens the door for the future possibility of someone adopting your child uncontested. Keep in mind, however, that should you ever need to apply for public assistance, you'll be required to track down the father and initiate legal proceedings for an adjudication of paternity and subsequent order for child support as a condition of receiving assistance.
