What to do if the male person with physical custoty is not dad?

Was he the one who signed the birth certificate?  If so, they would need a paternity test to take the kid away from him... if he's on the birth certificate, it's his right to have the child... she can be proven to be an unfit mother and the kid could be taken from her.. so, I would suggest putting that child with the person who will best take care of her - blood-related or not.

Absolutely not, he has no relationship with them according to the law. He is not their father, not even as step father. You have nothing to worry.

Just go to courthouse and file for child custody. Now there are two types of custody: Physical and Legal. You need to have at least joint legal custody, which means you can make legal decisions for your child. Now whoever has the physical custody keeps the child. And the other parent earns visitations rights. I do not recommend joint physical custody.\n\nNow when it comes to paternity test, you can request it during the custody case. \n\nChild support is another issue. Once you have the paternity test results and have legal custody of your child, your ex needs to take you to court for child support if she has the physical custody.\n\nYou don't even need a lawyer for any of this. If it gets to point where she claims you are an unfit parent or whatever than you can consider to get one. Otherwise don't even waste your money.\n\nPlus whoever files for custody first has the upper hand. Well hope this helps. Good Luck!!!!

First of all, stay out of it, it's none of your business.\n\nSecond of all, a DNA test will prove who the father is, they need to get one.

get a lawyer. i think you could win with his past history and her being a baby girl.

First do a test(DNA) that will prove who is the father for the new problem. If he is true to you he will come without any wrong from his side. Acept him, if not be ready to loose him also. because now he is also having ownership of another girl than u

If it's not his dad, keep clear.  Maybe he's taking over a dad's responsibility.  Keep clear again.  This kid will need a dad.  If his 'dad' is doing everything a dad needs to to then leave well alone.  Don't cause friction.  If the kid is happy with the arrangement, leave well alone.  They'll work it out in the future.  Don't interfere.  Let fate take it's toll without your input.

Depends on the situation.  If the mother is a crack wh*re (or some other similar shortcoming), then many dad's would never stop fighting and nothing would work.  If the dad is just mad and trying to make the mother's life h*ll, then you have to chill him out someway, or make the battle seem so uphill and costly that he'll just give it up.  Also, if the father is being denied his inherent rights to play a part in his child's life, then it would be evil to try and deny him these rights.

he's not married, but he has a son

Just ask him. He may not even know how many he's fathered because he only knows once it's brought to his attention.  Then again, he can't know for sure he's the father until he gets a paternity test done on each kid that claims to be his.

take him to court to, get full  custody ,and point out the:\n no support and no contact of several years and now sudden contact. and joint custody becaues you want to move and get married. the baby`s sperm donor is being spitful. and does not want you to have a life of your choice..you can provied a better life for your daughter..

The Courts seriously frown on this...\n\nActually extinguising one's rights and responsibilities as a parent is a major deal in family law in any state.  Give this issue more time and thought.  On the other hand, If this guy physically abused you that's much different.  I would expect there would be people in the legal community to help you to do what you need to do.  Still, I think getting support from him is necessary.  My thoughts...\n\nCheck out this site for County by County resources in your state:\n\nhttp://www.illinoisattorneygeneral.gov/dvsa/violence_Victims.htm

MOST STATES HAVE LEGAL AIDE SERVICES THAT CAN HELP.IF THERES LIKELY TO BE A CUSTODY FIGHT I STRONGLY SUGGEST HAVING AN ATTORNEY. ALSO SECURE THE CHILDS RESIDENCE BEFORE HAND.....SUCH AS MAKE CERTAIN THE DADS RESIDENCE IS LISTED ON ALL PAPERWORK,SUCH AS SCHOOL OR DAYCARE RECORDS ETC...HE NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO PROVE THE CHILD HAS BEEN IN HIS CUSTODY. DIVORCE CAN BE VERY UGLY,ESPECIALLY WHERE KIDS ARE CONCERNED.I WOULD DEFINATELY SEEK ADVICE FROM THE LOCAL FAMILY COURT OR DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE BEFORE TIPPING MY HAND.

You would have to check the law of your state. If you can't get his permission because you cannot locate him you would propbaly have to petition the court to get the ball rolling. Without knowing which state you are in it is hard to give a definite answer.
