Was the child born during marriage? Is your name on the birth certificate? If either are true, you are assumed to be the parent unless proved otherwise (the biological father comes forth with a legal paternity test and custody/visitation order based on the same). While, depending on state law where you live, you may no longer have the rights and responsibilities of a legal parent, if you have been in the child's life for 5 years as the father, it would be unfair to the child to have you suddenly removed from their life. This is a case where both parents need to work together to act in the best interests of the child and if mother is agreeable, there is absolutely no reason why you cannot still continue to parent the child.
