Actually, if the man forfeits all his parental rights, I believe he CAN just ''walk away'' without any financial responsibility. I know of at least two men that did- granted, this was a while back (One in the 1950's, the other in the 1970's) and state laws may vary, but I'm pretty sure it can be done, as long as the guy signs away his rights.
