Unlikely. Your husband is the legal father of the child.
Depends on your state. In MI, the legal father of the child is the mother's husband. If your child's father is not going to be your husband, do the right thing and let him be involved.
Nothing. the law recognizes the legal husband as the legal father of the child.
The biological father is the legal father. The husband is not the father unless he decides he wants to claim that title and wants to raise this child. Slim to none on that one. More likely you are going to be a single parent, so go after the bio dad for child support. He owes his child that.
The name of the actual father of the child should go on the birth certificate. If you are not legally divorced, then your legal husband would be automatically considered to be the child's father by law. If the child has a different father, he can complete a voluntary acknowledgement of the paternity of a child, in which he signs that he is the child's father and is therefore put on the birth certificate and named as the legal father. The hospital will help with this after the baby is born.
The biological father.AnswerThe husband is the legal father until a court proceeding declares the biological father to be the legal father. The law provides that a husband is automatically the legal father of any child born to a married couple, regardless of the circumstances. In order to rebut the presumption and have the actual father declared the legal father, one of the parties would have to file for paternity and legitimation, and a court would then order a DNA test, and order that the actual father is the legal father.
Then unless the biological father is ok with this and signs his rights over, the new husband has no legal rights to the child.
The answer depends totally on whether or not you were married to the child's mother. Any child born to a married couple is considered to be the legal child of the husband until proven otherwise. HOWEVER, if you were NOT married to the child's mother, then you have no legal rights, even if you are the father. An unwed mother who has a child is considered the sole legal parent of that child in most states. Even if you were proven to be the father - you have no legal rights without going to court , if you were not married.
The child of a woman who is married is generally assumed under the law to be the child of her husband. That type of situation complicates a child's legal rights and compromises the child's genealogy unless the matter is addressed by a court order that identifies the child's biological father. If there is no court order, the mother's husband will be listed as the father and he will be responsible for supporting the child even if the parties later divorce. The child will be his heir at law. The child will not be considered an heir at law of his biological father unless he can prove his relationship at the time of his biological father's death.The child of a woman who is married is generally assumed under the law to be the child of her husband.

No. The step father has no legal standing on which to sue for child support.No. The step father has no legal standing on which to sue for child support.No. The step father has no legal standing on which to sue for child support.No. The step father has no legal standing on which to sue for child support.
It doesn't matter. Step parents have no legal rights anyway. The problem you are going to have is explaining to the child who these men are. If the legal husband wants to be called a stepparent, then all is well. If not, he does not have to be anything to the child.
Only if it is established that you are the father. The law presumes that the husband is the father until/unless proved otherwise.
