IF YOU CAN PROVE YOUR THE BIOLOGICAL FATHER YES YOU DO HAVE RIGHTS... SEE AND ATTORNEY AND GET A PATERNITY TEST..... * Maybe. The biological father can file a custody petition after he establishes parentage. The problem is, that a child born in a marriage when the husband takes responsibility by signing the birth certificate legally becomes that man's child. If the husband objected to DNA testing to establish parentage the court WOULD NOT allow a paternity test. If the biological father had knowledge of the pregnancy and did nothing to intervene when the child was born, in all likelihood the court will rule that he voluntarily relinquished his parental rights and now has no legal rights to the child in question.

∙ 15y agoIf the parents are not married, yes, the father has to be present EXCEPT if he is a serving member of the armed forces, who can make a signed declaration prior to registration of the birth. If the parents are married, either parent can register the birth on their own.

∙ 14y agoYou did not indicate if you're married. In Michigan and quite a few other states, if you are Married at the time of the birth of the child..the Man who you are married to is legally the father !! If the Biological father had no idea about the child's existence, or if you're just trying to cut him out of the Child's life, he does, in fact, still have legal rights. If he takes a DNA test and is found to be the Bio father, then he is entitled to quite a few legal rights.

Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThis begs another question: how did this man's name end up on the birth certificate? Until a court rules otherwise, he is the child's father and has all the rights that that entails.
