More details to this question:
He gave his rights a long time ago. I don't know the whole situation. He doesn't even really know all the details. I think the other guy at the time adopted the boy. Does my brother in law still have to pay child support if he has no rights to the boy?

If there was a legal adoption of the child, then the biological father should not have to pay child support. Your brother in law should speak to an attorney to determine if there was a legal adoption which terminated his parental rights.
