Depends:

Has he been charged and found guilty of parental alienation?

Yes. No rights.

No. See next question,

Did the man (or non-custodial parent, since this could apply to women as well) intentionally neglect to see his child?

Yes. No rights.

No. See next question,

Did the custodial parent intend for the non-custodial parent not to have contact with the child for 5 years?

No. See question above, your answer should have been "yes"

Yes. See next question,

If you, as the man, can prove that you did not intentionally try to alienate your child (which after 5 years, will NOT be an easy burden to prove); then, if you're lucky enough to get a judge to allow you visitation -- you should hire an attorney IMMEDIATELY and try to establish a custody order ASAP. It is only after this order is declared legal by a judge's signature can you have any rights to your child.

Truly hoping you made it to the last question...

The man I was going to marry 4 years ago knew he was not the father but signed the birth ceryificate anyway now that I want his name off what rights do he have?

The signing of the birth certificate only means that the information on it is true. You don't have to take his name off and as long as he has not been there for the child for 7 years, he has no rights to the child. Check your state's laws on parental rights for accuracy of this answer.


Can a man sign over rights to get out of paying child support?

Signing rights away will not stop any child support from being taken from the father. If the child is the fathers then he is financially responsible for the child weather he has rights or not.


Can a man who has been a father for five years lose his parental rights if he is not the biological father?

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.

In Idaho does a man have rights to a child whom he helped raise and to whom he paid child support for three years and then found out the child was not his?

You need a lawyer for this one, and yes, you do have rights because you have #1 been lied too and #2 paid child support. This case would go to court and you may win. Be sure you have all cancelled checks for what you paid in child support. Good luck Marcy
