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.

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
