It's not possible in Canada to "sign off rights" and not pay support. Perhaps that was some private deal worked out between two people you heard of, but no court would allow that.
He has to pay support whether he sees the child or has any contact or not.
He has a right to spend time with the child, unless it can be clearly shown that he is physical danger to the child. Not that he's a jerk, not that he's an alcoholic, not that he has a messed up life, but that he is an actual danger to the child. He would even in pretty extreme circumstance have the right to at least supervised access. Unless he is making criminal threats that you can prove, the type of thing that would result in a restraining order, it will be pretty near impossible to totally remove his access.
