If a male is named as the father of a child when the couple are not married he cannot request the relinquishment of parental rights until paternity has been established. If the paternity test shows he is not the biological father, he can file suit in family court to be relieved of this financial and parental obligations. The same basic premise applies in the case of married couples with the exception that, the male is assumed to be the father unless only he contests the fact and he must be legally separated or divorced from the biological mother at the time of contestation.
