Never saw the child (picture, ANYTHING!).
never saw a birth certificate
mother never told man she was pregnant; man gets slapped with a paternity suit almost 2 years later.
Could the DNA test have been falsified?
Can't even find the mother or the multiple bastard children.

the girl just flat out left and told no one that she was pregnant, had no contact with the man until one day the sherriff knocks at the door to serve him with papers.
PS-the women in many of these cases aren't "victims".

You can't terminate your parental rights unless there is someone waiting to adopt the child. They will not let you terminate them to get out of paying support. I highly doubt the DNA test was falsified. And unfortunately, they can go after you for support from the day the child was born even if the mother never notified you.

Nope. There is not much you can do about it if there was a DNA test. That said, you should have the right to see the kid, or at least be able to fight the DNA test should you think it WAS falsified! You can even have your own DNA test done if you suspect the child is not really your kid. It sounds like you need to get on the phone and call an attorney.
If you know it is your kid, though, then tough. That'll show you not to keep it in your pants. Be a man and pay the child support.

Terminating your parental rights does not relieve you of your parental responsibilities. He will still have to pay child support. Why do you say that he can't have a relationship with his daughter? If he really wants to see her and have unsupervised visitation, he can go to court and get an order for such. He does not want to though, which is why he is making the lame excuse that the mother won't let him do anything. It's not up to the mother though. Both parents have equal rights to their children. Your friend just doesn't want to see his daughter.

No, DNA tests cannot be falsified if done through your state office. You should get an attorney if you think otherwise.. You can't terminate your parental rights. SO . . . now since you decided not to protect yourself, you have to pay child support for the next 17 or so years. I'd suggest that you use protection from now on.

Contact a lawyer in your state, if the mother lives in a diffrent state you need to ask an attorney. If you took a dna test chances are yo are the father, not sure how she could falsify that. I believe if you pay the support you should be able to see your kids. My ex had problems paying child support but I let my son go see him anyway cause my child shouldnt pay for his fathers mistakes

To answer your question, you can't just walk up to a judge and say "I want to terminate my parental rights." Sorry, but they won't allow it. If another man later enters the picture and wants to legally adopt the kid, then you might be asked to terminate your rights and give them to him, in which case you would stop paying child support.
And no, DNA tests are very hard to falsify. If you want to see a birth certificate and picture, just ask for one.

I think this all depends on where you live and the laws governing this topic there. I know someone else this happened too and the mother surfaced when the child was 12 and the judge ordered the father to pay support.
Sometimes it's just better to think ahead (as in condom) rather than paying for something later wouldn't you agree?

The current state of legalities has that the court's decision is what makes or breaks anything. Recently in the news was a young man who was accused of being the father. He said he wasn't, but the courts agreed with the lying female. He gets a DNA test that proves he is not the father. Court insists that its ruling stands. If he does not continue to pay for a child that is not his to a woman who lied about him, he is in contempt of court and can be jailed.
Good luck with changing that mindset. Now you know why we are seeing these "male rights" clubs.

In most states now, they require a paternity test before support is ordered. In some states, all a female has to do is name you as the father (especially if she is on government support ie-welfare). You can dispute it and ask for a blood test.
As far as terminating parental rights, I'm not sure if that will relieve you of any support responsibilities.
Get an attorney!

To voluntarily terminate your parental rights is something that happens when it's an option to have them terminate by some dependency proceedings. You are probably talking about being emaciated form a child. You can have that happen and you would have to solicit legal counsel from a family law specialist!! Good Luck
