My ex wife has decided after 4 years of me raising my youngest son to tell me that he isn't mine. We have taken a DNA test and it proves he isn't. But to me he is my son and i am looking for anything to help me keep him. I should have some kind of right. Plus i found out that the real father is a registered sex affender.... My son was conceaved and born during my marriage and i have him right now. I have talked to lawyers and they are saying there is no way to keep him but i keep hearing from other fathers that say i can, that they went thru it to. Just that there lawyer is no longer practiceing and there are all kinds of new laws. I just need to look up the information myself.. If no lawyer will take up there sweet time to find out then i need to look for myself, but it is hard to find these kinds of things. So i am asking you to PLEASE help me find something so i wont lose my child. There has to be something out there for us fathers....

It is called Estoppel (keep things the same as they were). You will have some rights. You can still claim the child to some extent but after failing a DNA test it may be a rough road. If the natural father of the child is trying to get his rights to the child then it will be even more difficult.
I am on the opposite side as you. I am a natural father fighting for my daughter.
Send me an email as to what state and I might be able to help find some resources online. FYI: most of the new laws and case law I have seen supports putative fathers (natural fathers).

Unfortunately there isn't a "law" or statute to back up fathers in your situation. There might be some case law to help you but you would need to research many, many cases to see if there would be anything that would give "power" to your cause. I do know that Alec Baldwins book has alot of references that might help give you a start as to fathers and visitation rights, etc. That's where I would start if I were you. If you do the research yourself, then take it to an attorney, it might convince them you have a case. Good luck!
