Needless to say, the relationship I have with my son’s mother has strained me and my new family to the point where I cannot handle it. She is a hypocritical black supremacist and hypocritical Pentecostal Christian who does not preach what she follows.
If I sever my parental rights, could she or the state come after me for child support? If I sever my rights, does that mean I have to pay but can’t see my son?
I signed his Birth Certificate but she moved to another state and I hardly see him but me and my family pay support though the state or her never officially demanded it. In forms of Money Orders and such but what are my options?

Get a lawyer. You have options if there is no formal agreement. You can sever your parental rights but I don't think this changes your responsibility to your son. How his mothers issues make you not want to be responsible for him, is confusing to me. Are you punishing him because you made a bad choice of partners? You certainly didn't think those things about her when you were making a baby with her. Again, get legal advice.

You can sever your parental rights, but it does not relieve you of your responsibility to pay child support. Yes, it means you have to pay, but will have no right to see your son.
