∙ 12y agoYou do not have the right to deny visitations but if you do, the father can and should request a court hearing to establish his paternity and get visitation rights. He can request custody or joint custody and the court will render a decision. If the child is to remain with the mother the court will set up a child support order and the father can file contempt charges if the mother withholds visitation or violates the visitation order in any other way.

yes biological fathers may seek visitation and custody rights
Once paternity has been established: 1) pay child support; 2) have reasonable visitation
A child's biological father can have his name added to a child's birth certificate regardless of whether or not the mother agrees to it. If the biological father voluntarily relinquishes his parental rights and the child is legally adopted by another man, his name can be added to the birth certificate in place of the biological father.
You have to be established, legally, as her biological father so if you have not done that do that first. Have DNA tests done if needed. Then you can apply for custody or visitation rights.
no
Generally, no. However, you have not provided any detail and there may be circumstances under which an unfit mother may lose custody to a step father who has been a stable parent to the child. You should speak with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your rights and options.
Do you have a court order saying you have visitation? Are you the biological father? If so then YES. Go back to court and file for custody.
Each situation is different and there is no set answer. The judge will decide. If the biological father is a fit parent then he will most likely be awarded custody. The grandmother would most likely have visitation rights. The judge will look at the situation and decide what is best for the welfare of the child.
In all U.S. states the biological unwed mother is considered to have sole legal and physical custody of her child. If the biological father wishes to assert his parental rights he must first establish paternity to the child in question and petition the court for visitation privileges or custodial rights. If the mother wishes to pursue child support for the minor child she must show proof of paternity (signed birth certificate, or notarized affidavit for the father). It is the responsibility of the alledged father to prove he is or is not the biological father of the child, regarding custody, visitation and/or obligation of financial support.

No, as a biological parent, you should be entitled to more rights than any non-biological guardian, especially if you have partial custody, or visitation rights.
No. In the United States, biological parents have equal child visitation rights unless restrictions are placed on the parent(s) by legal means.
