re: I got another girl pregnant... How to give up parental rights?
As an unwed mother, you will have, by default, sole custody of the child.
He can fight for custody/visitation, but if you do not put his name on the birth certificate (he would have to consent and acknowledge the child is his to do that anyway) he will have an uphill battle proving to the court the child is his. The court may grant a paternity test if he chooses to fight for custody.
You can leave the state you reside in if you wish. As it stand, he has no legal right to the child. You do.
You do not have to file for sole custody, you already have it by law as an unwed mother.
