Not in the U.S.A. but, I suppose there may still be countries or cultures with such a law |

No. If he is the biological father of the child then he is the biological father of the child. He has all the rights of a father although he may not have physical custody of the child. |

No, If the both the father and the mother agree that he is the father, he can be put on the birth certificate and he is the legal father. If paternity is contested by either party, a DNA test will be performed. If the results are positive, paternity is then established. |

There may be a DNA test required to prove he's the father, but no "adoption" is necessary if he IS the father. |

No. If he is the biological father he does not have to adopt. |

No, not if your name is on the birth certificate. If it is not you can have it added. |

no he doesn't have to adopt my "husband" (not married yet) and I have 2 kids together and his name is on both birth certificates he just had to sign an acknowledgment of paternity (form they give at the hospital in Texas if you are not married) check with the doctor or hospital you go to to see if it i the same for you. |

no but if you are not on the birth certificate you have to have proof you are the father. (dna test) |

If the father's name is not on the birth certificate then yes unless they go to court and get a dna test as proof then they can gain parental responsibility but if the fathers name is on the birth certificate then no |
