Does a biological father have any custodial rights if his name is on the birth certificate in the state of Florida?

Yes, get a blood test and prove it No. What is your motivation? Are you trying to destroy a marriage? Have you done anything to support your child? Given money to pay for medical or provided other resources? If the other guy is ACTING like a parent, maybe you should just stay out of it. The Biology of a child is not relevent if the child is born to a married woman who resides with her husband. In such cases the "husband rule" applies, meaning the husband is assumed to be the legal father and the court will not allow anyone to intrude into the marriage nor will it allow genetic (paternity) testing to be done. The only exception is, if the biological father can prove beyond a doubt that the woman did not have an opportunity to engage in sexual relations with her husband during the time the child was conceived.

∙ 12y agoYes 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. If they are not the biological parent then their rights are almost non existent unless they have been a significant parental figure in the child's life.

∙ 11y agoYes. The father contributed one half of the child's genetic makeup, and that's all that matters, really, to have parental rights, and responsibilities.
Depends if he has been to court to actually get his parental rights yet and if not:
He needs his lawyer to help him to prove paternity in court and he can then ask for visitation while in prison. Juse being on the birth certificate will not give him rights unless married to the mother. He needs to leave a aDNA test to prove paternity because they are not married.

Is it against the law to put your name on the birth certificate your wife and you had someone help us have a baby and you are not the biological father but will be the father?
Oh yeah. The biological father and mother are put on the certificate.
If you are adopted should your adoptive or biological father sign your wedding certificate?
If you are adopted, your biological father has no legal standing. And there is no requirement that any parent sign a wedding certificate. If you are underage, you may need signatures to obtain the marriage license and it would be the adoptive parent that would have to sign.
Can biological mother add step dad to birth certificate without telling biological farther?
The birth certificate can only have one father and only the biological father is allowed to be on it. And only he can sign it. A step parent have no legal right to the child.
Do you have to married for the non biological father to sign child's birth certificate in Texas?
Except in an adoption, there is no such person as a "non biological father." The only man who should be signing a birth certificate is the child's biological father. Any other man who signs it is making an illegal statement.
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.
My husband is not my daughters biological father yet his name is on her birth cert and we are now getting divorced What rights does he have to my daughter?
He would have all of the rights that a biological father has. If he was not the biological father, then his name should not have been put on the birth certificate in the first place, unless he adopted her and the birth certificate was changed.
In Michigan can the biological father waive his parental rights and then the new husband of the custodial parent adopt the children?
yes
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.
If you were never married to the father of your child and there is not a court order for visitation would a judge remove the child from your custody if you move out of state?
No. If there is not a custodial order in place the law presumes that an unmarried mother has full custodial rights to her child and does not need permission from the biological father or the court in matters concerning the child. In addition, when a child is born out-of-wedlock the biological father must establish paternity before custodial, visitation and child support can be addressed.
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.
Who petitions the court if the father is not on birth certificate?
The biological father. He does not have to be on the bc to do so. In court he will prove paternity with a DNA test.
Will your name still go on the birth certificate of your wifes baby even if the biological father is there to sign?
no
