I actually know of someone that did this exact thing ~10 years ago. The parents of the mother wanted the father to have nothing to do with the child, and the father of the child wanted nothing to do with it. They had him sign away parental rights, so he could not ask for visitation, but they signed away the right to ask for support.
Now, years later, the child is happy, healthy, and doing well. The father is locked up yet again for drugs. Sometimes the best route is seperating the father from the new child.
