No, because you've obviously failed enough as a parent to have the child taken away. They won't just give the kid back.
Yes you can, Please contact child services and dicuss that you want your child. Right away. If you wait they could be adopted out. They can do paternaty tests also. If it is needed. Good luck to you.

∙ 11y agoThat depends on state law where you live. Where I live, if the man has reason to believe he is indeed the biological father, he can petition the court of jurisdiction for paternity testing to establish it. Once he has been established as the biological father, he can file a motion to amend the birth certificate based on the same.

My husband is not my daughters biological father yet his name is on her birth cert and we are now getting divorced What rights does he have to my daughter?
He would have all of the rights that a biological father has. If he was not the biological father, then his name should not have been put on the birth certificate in the first place, unless he adopted her and the birth certificate was changed.

Oh yeah. The biological father and mother are put on the certificate.

The birth certificate can only have one father and only the biological father is allowed to be on it. And only he can sign it. A step parent have no legal right to the child.
Do you have to married for the non biological father to sign child's birth certificate in Texas?
Except in an adoption, there is no such person as a "non biological father." The only man who should be signing a birth certificate is the child's biological father. Any other man who signs it is making an illegal statement.
Can the biological father get any custody rights if he did not sign the birth certificate and the mother of the child was married but is divorced now and her ex husband signed the birth certificate?
Yes, but he will have to file a petition for visitation. He may also have to go through paternity testing to verify.
Can you move out of the state of VA with children without the consent of the biological father?
If the father and mother are not married, the father's name is not on the birth certificate, and there is no custody agreement in place, the mother may take the child out of state. Otherwise, there would be legal consequences.
If the unwed mother has sole custody can the father be granted temporary custody?
Possibly. He must establish the parentage with the court before he can petition for any custodial rights. This means he must prove to the court that he is the biological father. In most instances a simple acknowledgement and/or his being named on the birth certificate will suffice. However, if the birth mother denies that the male is the biological father he will need to claim parental rights via paternity testing.
The fathers name is not on the birth certificate and he has not paid child support for 16 years. Does he have any right to the child?
If he can prove that he is the biological father of the child, he can seek custody or visitation rights, regardless of whether or not he is on the birth certificate or paying child support. In fact, if he is the biological father he can legally have his name added to the birth certificate. However, if he has not been around for 16 years, it is unlikely that a judge will grant anything more than visitation rights, and the child is old enough to have a say in whether or not they want visits from their father.
