This is a sticky by ScottGem about this particular topic. He gives some very good advice about relinquishing rights.

You first need to have your parentage of this child either confirmed or denied by way of a DNA test. The mother needs to get this done before you can be held liable for any child support. It needs to be a court ordered DNA test for it to be upheld in court should you not be the father.

If you wanted nothing to do with her or a child, you shouldn't have sex with her.

You are now STUCK with her (and the child) for the next 18 years. Unless she's nice, and gets married, and the step father adopts. Don't hold your breath on that, though.

If there was an easy "sign your rights away" form for men to sign, do you really think men would be going to jail for non-payment of child support?

Suck it up, honey. *I*, as a taxpayer, do not want to pay for the child that YOU, who wasn't thinking about more than "hey! My pants are around my ankles", created. Get a job, because you SHOULD be paying for your child.

PS--by all means, get a DNA test. But unless your former lover was either a real slut, or you had a gangbang the night she got pregnant, she's probably not lying to you about it. Congratulations, daddy.

Synnen - You may be have been a tad harsh BUT you sure hit the topic with a 26 lb sledge hammer to be sure. Or you used a 12 gauge shotgun to shoot a cockroach. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime is about breaking the law. But in this case if you can't pay for 18 years keep your pecker in your pants.

You will not be able to sign over any rights, ( but who cares) they can't force you to use a single right, all you do is
1. never file for any custody
2. never file for any visits
3. never file for use of any of the rights.

All you have to do, if proven the father, is write that monthly child support check.

It's true what the others have said. If you don't want to have any contact with them then simply don't know one will force you to visit or call. However, if you are proven to be the father by court ordered DNA test then you will be ordered to pay support. You can forget about sighing away your rights because that just won't happen. Of course if she does get married and stays in a stable marriage for at least a year and the step dad wants to adopt then you are more than welcome to sign to allow the adoption and then you will no longer be the legal father and will no longer owe any child support. But until and unless that happens you may be the father. (like so many others I think you should retake sex ed and you will know the possible consequences of having sex)
