If a father finds out he is the biological father of a child, he has as many rights to the child as the mother does. He can take the mother to court for custody or to set up a parenting plan.

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.

How do you stop unfit fathers from getting visitation rights?
the noncustodial parent is usually awarded some type of visitation rights in order to enable a relationship with the father. If the father is unfit however, them this needs to be brought to the attention of the court that the father is engaging in a lifestyle and practices that are harmful to the child. If that is found to be the case and true, then there is the possibility for either supervised visits or total denial of visitation rights until the issue is resolved.
Does listing the father on the birth certificate give him rights?
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.
Can a man be made to pay child support in the state of Florida if he finds out the child is not his?
It happens. You do have the right to file for termination of your child support obligation based on the fact that you are not the biological father, however if you have acted as the father for a specified period of time and the biological father has not been found, your obligation may be continued upon order of the court. The legal term is loco parentis and "sufficient time" to establish it is up to the court. If you signed the birth certificate, that also adds more glue to the seal.

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?"

You married a woman who already had a child by another man. You subsequently divorced and then she found out she was pregnant. Do you have any rights regarding the new baby?
If you are the father of this new baby, you have the right and obligation to support it, regardless of your relationship with the mother. If you are concerned whether the child is yours you can insist on a paternity test to see if you are the biological father. Of course, in addition to having the obligation to support your child you will be granted visitation rights if you request it when the case is brought to court.
