Well the first thing he would need to do is establish paternity, which would mean DNA testing.You all could do this willingly or he could force the issue in two ways 1. he could get an attorney go to court and demand that you allow DNA testing. or 2. If you are on public assistance he could simply go to the Welfare state that he is the father and wants to establish his parental rights they will then set up a meeting and you will have to sigh a legal document stating he is the father, or they could get the testing for the DNA testing, if you refuse they can take away your assistance. once paternity is established he can get visitation rights, and he will be ordered to pay child support. The type of visatation order depends on what the state implaments

My educated guess is that he doesn't have any rights until he can prove (through a paternity test) that he is the biological father. My father was not listed on my birth certificate, but then again, I've never met the guy. But any guy could say he's my dad, and how would I know? This guy could have been a friend (or stalker) of the mother and wants the child for other reasons, knows that no father is listed on the cert. and figures that everyone would be none the wiser if he is claiming parental status.

If he isn't on the birth certificate then he won't have any rights until he proves that he is the father. Once he has done that then he has the right & the responsibility to co-parent the child.
It's too bad that so many fathers out there are so concerned about their rights, but not their responsibilities.

You'll have to go to court. Get a good lawyer, proove that youre stable and you were there wanting the child when it was born and through the pregnancy. Youll also need a manditory DNA test. If you werent there supporting the mother through the pregnancy and birth, then you probably wont get the child.

if you are dealing with a women spawned from the tar pits of hell then you probably will have to file a motion in court for certain legal rights and visitation.
just a warning about getting involved with friend of the court - they will not only take all your money but suck the life out of you and chew up your soul.
it would be best if you can have an amicable relationship with the mother and avoid all that paperwork altogether.

That "Father" doesn't have any rights, however, you can request a DNA test from the courts and and you can get legal visitation and so forth. Good Luck.

this will be a long process,the father has to prove that he is indeed the bilogical father thru DNA testing.consult a lawyer about this,but be positive that he is the father,to avoid any embarassment later on.

None. Unless you want to fight it out in court with DNA testings...but your name isn't on the birth certificate so by LAW you're not the father. You're pretty much S.O.L. (shitoutofluck)

im sure its different for each state but go thru the court system for a paternity test to confirm your paternity and take it from there. if u want to be involved im sure they will help you b/c its not everyday dads want 2 be there in situations like that

get an attorney. With an attorney once they prove the child is yours you will have rights
