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.

∙ 17y agoThe father can legally request custody and/or visitation rights and assert all other parental rights that applied before the dissolution of the marriage until/unless a court rules otherwise. Parental rights can only be terminated voluntarily or permanently by the court they are not affected by either parent remarrying. A new spouse has no legal rights to a child born of a previous marriage or relationship.

What rights does a man found to be the father by default have to said child?
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.
If you died would your son be taken away from his step father and step brother and returned to his biological father seeing as legally he is not my husband's baby or does marriage bring rights?
Marriage by itself does not bring custody rights to non-biological children. Where the children go when the biological mother dies depends on who has custody, whether the non-biological father has adopted the child, whether the biological father wants the child, and on the laws of the state where all of this is happening.
If the biological father has no rights do you need his permission when adopting the child when marrying the biological mother?
You need to see a lawyer. Look for "Legal Aid" in your state as they offer free or low-cost legal advice. If someone is the "biological" father, he doesn't adopt the child, it is his child. He is legally obligated (in the USA) to provide support (money) for the child's needs. The only exception is if the mother was married to another man at the time of the birth, then legally the husband is considered the baby's father (even if everyone knows and admits that the other man is the baby's biological father). If you're asking whether the biological father can be forced to take care of the child in his own house, the answer is "no" he can give up his parental rights to the child. If you're asking whether the biological father can take the child away from the mother and her boyfriend/husband, the answer is "maybe" if he can PROVE to a court that the baby's mother is unfit and he (the biological father) is a better parent. If the father WANTS to be involved in the baby's life even though the mother has a new boyfriend/husband, the father MUST be allowed to have visitation with his child. Not allowing him to see the child may cause the courts to consider the mother not fit to raise the child. Again, GET LEGAL ADVICE from a lawyer.

What does Oklahoma law states about signing away your parental rights?
If you can find someone to sign your rights over to, (you do not sign the rights 'away', you transfer them) then US law can allow you to do this. For example if a couple have a child and then get divorced, and the woman later remarries, she can request that the biological father signs their child's rights over to the new husband. The biological father is then no longer responsible for the child, the new husband is. However a biological father cannot simply abandon his right just because he no longer wishes to support his child.
