A biological father who is not willing to make a child legitimate should have no rights whatsoever with respect to the child, unless the mother refuses to marry him. Whatever happened to taking responsibility? Whatever happened to shotguns?

Fathers have every right to raise their own children, regardless of their marital status.

A father’s right to raise his own child is not contingent upon his marital status.

And it is quite possible that:

A) the mother doesn’t want to be involved with raising the child

B) the mother doesn’t want to be married

Incidentally, a father who wants to raise his own child - without any involvement from the mother who doesn’t want to raise the child - IS being responsible as well as asserting his rights.

OBVIOUSLY.

You are missing the part about a child having a relationship with their father.

They do desire to at least know the person from who their unique life came from.

Fathers who don’t provide for their children are pricks but the child doesn’t need to also suffer consequences.

so the woman says “it is not yours” is that enough thwarting?

what about the man who finds out years and years later?

this seems more an adoption LAWYER law than a paternity rights law.
