Unless there is someone willing to adopt you can't sign away your parental rights.

I assume that when you say "sign my rights away" you mean that you want to relinquish parental rights. You have to file such an action with the court. The court will decide based on the facts.

You cannot sign away your rights, and thus not be responsible for support and medical expenses, unless the mother remarries and her new husband adopts the child.

Your spouse should ask the court to change custody and you cooperate. This is how you get an order changing your custody rights. Yes, you will still have to pay child support - possibly more than before because now your spouse has the child for a longer time and spends additional funds for child maintenance. The only way to avoid that is to have your parental rights terminated.

Unless and until another man takes over your parental rights by adoption, you can give up custody but still be on the hook for support.

Absent adoption child support will remain an obligation.

You can't. Even if you could, you would still of the obligation to pay child support.
