He already stands a chance of being arrested and charged with statutory rape so his rights became limited when he decided to sleep with the child. He should get a lawyer soon because anyone can report this relationship (a neighbor, teacher, parents, etc) to the county prosecutor.
If we ignore the risk of being charged and sentenced for Statutory rape, you have rights as a dad. If she is not willing to give you access to your child you have to go to court and sort it out regarding visitation rights, child support etc. If the mother is a minor living at home you have no right to see her if her parents are against it but they have no right to keep you from your child.
Yes, equal to the mother.
if the mother terminates her rights can he collect child support from the mother if child lives with him?
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.
no the mother should have the legal obligation to take care of the child
The rights of the natural father depends on if the father has given up his rights or not. If he has not given up his rights, he has the same rights as the mother, or as outlines in the custody order.
She can terminate her parental rights, not yours.
Child support would generally go to the person raising the child. Mother might even be ordered to pay to father.
no
Yes, but father can challenge.
Each has equal rights and responsibilities.
I would think that if the mother and father are not together and the mother is willing to give up custody of the child to the father than the father would have rights to the child. If the adoption papers haven't been canceled yet they will have to be signed when the baby is born saying that the mother and father give up parental rights to the child

If the father wants parental rights he must establish his paternity in court.No. If the mother is unmarried then she has legal custody of her child automatically.
