Yes, unless he has been to court and has a order of visitation.
He can get a court order, but until he does, you do not have to. As far as your boyfriend wanting to adopt the baby, the biological father has to sign his parental rights away before adoption will take place.
The assumption here is that a husband, in the process of a divorce, has filed for custody and the mother is countering it by claiming that he is not the father. She can do this.
No. If the biological father wants to assert parental rights he may file a petition with the court to order a paternity test taken. If presented with such an order the mother must comply or be held in contempt of court. A biological parent cannot be forced to relinquish parental rights it must be done voluntarily or said rights terminated by the court for reasons of abuse and/or neglect.
If the father have no court order for visitation she can refuse.
Ask him to do a DNA test and if he refuse you get a court order for one.
In my opinion, depending on how old the son is, and the mental state of the mother, she should have some say in the custody over her own birth child. As far as the two non relatives go, in most cases they should have no say in the outcome of the placement of a child they have no control over.
Yes. The father has no right to go to a personal doctors appointment.
He can refuse to see the child; he cannot refuse to support the child.
Yes so leave this to the courts.If they were married when the child was born he is automatically the father and you have to prove paternity by DNA to prove you are the biological father. Then you can ask for your parental rights and get visitation, pay child support etc. Get a lawyer.If you already is on the paper as the dad and have parental rights you need to ask for visitation. She can not refuse a court order. That is breaking the law and she can herself lose custody if she does.
This depends on the situation. I advise contacting a lawyer.
Yes he can. The court will award full custody to the mother or to a legal guardian if necessary. However, the father will be required to pay child support.
Generally, if the parents are unmarried, the mother has sole custody until the father establishes his paternity legally. Until then she can refuse visitation. However, when the father's paternity has been established he can request custody and/or a visitation schedule. He will also need to pay child support if the mother retains physical custody.A married mother cannot keep the child from the father without a court order to that effect.
