Can a father give up his rights so he does not have to pay child support?

Generally, a parent cannot give up their parental rights to their own child unless an adoption, whether this is by a third party or by a step-parent, has or will take place. There must be a willing and able parent ready to assume the responsibility. There must be good cause for a court to terminate the rights of a parent. Not seeing or supporting a child is not a good cause reason to terminate parental rights.
