Well Im guessing he has every right to go to court and try defending his cause :

The father has a right to be involved. If the mother tries to deny him involvement, the father can go to court to ensure that his rights are upheld. The onus would be on the mother to prove that there is a reason why the father's parental rights should not be upheld. Here is a link to a forum where a similar question was asked and more details are provided:

Well, for the most part, A father has as much right to the child as the mother. Each province may differ abit but, if he choses, He can seek custody, visitation rights, child support ( if he gains custody),etc.
