What rights does a man have by signing birth certificate?

My friends son is 7 and his biological father signed the birth certificate but has never been in his life and the boy does not know him. Her husband has raised him for 6 years......the biological father was never married to mother, does he have rights?

Yes he does. If he is the baby's real father he has all the rights to the child. I suggest the mother of the child either get back child support OR ask the man to sign over all legal rights to the child so that her new husband can adopt the child. She can tell her ex that either he signs over the child or that she will sue for all back child support.

yes, he is on the birth certificate, by law he is the father. She will have to petition the court to terminate his rights, then the step-father can adopt the child.

Yes,he is the childs father and has as many rights as the mother. Unfortunately,that is the way it works. Does he at least pay support?
Perhaps she could convince the bio dad to sign over his parental rights so her husband can adopt the child.
