You may attempt to contact the biological father to request he give up his parental rights. If he is willing to do this, any family law attorney can process the paperwork. If you are unable to contact the father, you can petition the courts to terminate his rights as an absentee. Again, a competent family law attorney can process this for you.
No. There is no requirement for the child to have to "know" the father for him to give up his parental rights.
Then unless the biological father is ok with this and signs his rights over, the new husband has no legal rights to the child.
By Canadian Law if the mother of the child purposely did not contact the biological father and she married and her husband adopted the child and the biological father found out then yes, he can take you to court. If he can prove he's reliable, holds down a good job, is not into drugs and contributes to society then yes, he can have some rights. It will take a court of law and two lawyers to fight this one. The bottom line is ... "What is good for the child?"
absolutly, he has more rights than a step father because he is the child's biological father, he has a right to see the child if he so chooses unless the court forbids it. everyone has rights nowadays, siblings have rights, counsins, aunts and uncles even grandparents.
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.The child of a woman who is married is generally assumed under the law to be the child of her husband.

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.
In New York state, a non-biological father can voluntarily give up his parental rights through a legal process called "adoption by estoppel." This allows a non-biological father who has acted as the child's father to relinquish his rights and responsibilities. However, it is recommended to consult with a family law attorney to navigate the specific circumstances of your situation.
Since losing them can include not paying support, it can only be done if an adoption is the intent.
No. The biological father can give up his rights and if your husband then want to be more than a step parent, who have no rights to the child, can adopt your child. Or not, that is your choice as the parent.
A DNA test can prove if the biological father is actually the father. If it is proven he is the father, then he should have all parental rights as any other parent.
