Unfortunate situation

Please, no judgement or bashing in this thread! My fiancee and i have a 4 year old daughter. While we were broken up he had a 1 night stand with a girl. Shortly after we had gotten back together. Few months after, she had said she was pregnant and it could be my fiance's. He told her he wouldnt want to be in the childs life and sadly the child would not get the love he deserves, if it were in fact his (this was early in the pregnancy). She decided to keep it and after he was born was made to do a paternity test, of course it ended up being his. My question is, since they never had a relationship by any means (she was apparently still married!!!) can he sign over parental rights? This has nothing to do with trying to get out of paying child support. I just dont want a happy family to get broken up because of this. She had a choice, so does he not?
