Unfortunately the law does not recognize a man or woman to be granted a parental rights even though they have taken it upon themselves to raise and nurture a child. Marrying someone with a child(ren) does not automatically confer the new spouse any legal rights concerning the child(ren). The law only recognizes such rights as belonging solely to a biological or adopter parent(s) or a legally appointed guardian.

If you are on the birth certificate have raised the child for 10 years then find out you are not the biological father what are your parental rights?
Get a lawyer. You have a couple of ways to assert your parental rights.
When the biological father has sole custody and the mother has signed away her parental rights many years ago how does a biological father remove his name from his child's birth certificate?
he says i dont want your dam child
Can a biological father seek custody after 4 years of no contact?
Yes he can since he still has his parental rights. He might only get visitation first though until they know each other better.
If a father does not pay child support for two years can he loose his parental rights?
I think he should
Can a mother come back to the father for child support after he has relinquished his parental rights eleven years ago?
no
If a man signs the birth certificate and has been there since the birth of the child and find out 6 years later that he isn't the biological father what rights does he have to the child?
If you're in the US, he has the same rights as any other father, because he is the legal father (biological is irrelevant at this point).
Does my child's father have rights after no communication or even seeing him after almost eight years?
Yes I believe he does if he is the boys biological father but you should talk to a judge or your lawyer
Your sons father hasn't seen him in 6 years and hasn't paid child support can you terminate parental rights?
You cannot terminate parental rights automatically because of visitation and child support. It is advised to seek advice from an attorney for the next steps.
Our Son is getting out of prison Mar 5th. James has been in and out for 14 years of his life. He has a son 3 years old that he has never met.Mason has a great Step Father. Need help for both fathers.?
Help with what? If James goes to court he can get his parental rights and get visitation. The step father have no parental rights unless he adopts him. It's perfectly fine if the boy have access to both.
Can a father relinquish his parental rights to an 11-year-old child who he just found out about?
yes the same way you sign over the rights when a child is born it's the same way years later you can still sign over your rights just as long as the mother is in consent and everyone is in agreement you can surely do that. * If the father was never aware of the child's existence then he has not established parentage and cannot relinquish rights that he does not have. If the issue is child support, the biological mother or legal custodian of the child must file a lawsuit for child support. Child support will not be addressed until parentage is established. If the male is found to be the father,arrearages will not be allowed if he can prove did not have knowledge of the child until the current time. After parentage has been established the court may or may not accept a request for the voluntary termination of parental rights from a biological parent.
Can the mother who has full custody of a child still receive child support from the father who has not seen the child in 3 years after the father s parental rights are revoked?
Yes, the revocation of parental rights does not exclude the parent from being financially responsible until the child or children reach the age of emancipation, or the age ordered in the child support petition.
If a biological father is not determined and the child is adopted by another man through the court can paternity be determined at 6 years of age and would the biological father have any rights left?
By Canadian Law if the mother of the child purposely did not contact the biological father and she married and her husband adopted the child and the biological father found out then yes, he can take you to court. If he can prove he's reliable, holds down a good job, is not into drugs and contributes to society then yes, he can have some rights. It will take a court of law and two lawyers to fight this one. The bottom line is ... "What is good for the child?"
