Yes he does. If he wants to see his child he needs to go to court to set up legal visitation and support of the child. If he refuse's to comply with the court on child support they could pronounce him the father and he would have to pay child support anyway. Most fathers are having DNA tests done in the hopes of getting out from under child support and it works if they are not the biological parent.

How can you allow visitation by the biological father with his child who has been adopted by the spouse of the child's biological mother?
There are no laws that would prevent the child from vistation with her biological father as long as her custodial parents agree. The biological father has no legal grounds to seek vistation or custody if the adoption were done according to the laws of the state in which it occurred. Visitation must be voluntarily agreed to by the custodial parents and the child under the terms that they establish. The visitation rights can also be withdrawn by the custodial parent(s) if and whenever they so choose. It would be in the best interest of those involved for the custodial parents to establish guidelines (boundaries) before visitation is allowed.

What are the custodial rights of unwed mothers in the state of Tennessee?
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.
What are a father's rights after a child is born?
If the couple are unmarried the birth mother is presumed to have full custodial rights to the child..

When parentage has been established the biological father can file a writ of habeas corpus for custoday or a petition for visitation rights; likewise the primary custodial parent can then petition for child support.

If you are adopted should your adoptive or biological father sign your wedding certificate?

If the unwed mother has sole custody can the father be granted temporary custody?
Possibly. He must establish the parentage with the court before he can petition for any custodial rights. This means he must prove to the court that he is the biological father. In most instances a simple acknowledgement and/or his being named on the birth certificate will suffice. However, if the birth mother denies that the male is the biological father he will need to claim parental rights via paternity testing.
