Child's father rights?

my wife had a afair next to another man and now she pregnate, but she doesnt know who the father is. i want to preserve the child as my own. what rigthts does the other guy have? i dont want to own a test done to find out the fater. what should i do?

Answers:    There is no plea to have the assessment done if you are willing to elevate the child as your own. If your name is on the birth warrant, then you are the court father.
He has ALL rights as the biological father, unless he is of a mind to sign them over to you.
Does the other guy know that she is pregnant? The only road to find out the father is to have a exam done, which I'm sure the other guy will want done unless he wants nil to do with it. If he is the Father, he does enjoy right to see and be apart of the Child's life.
If here is a possiblity that the other guy is the father and he wants to be contained by thats childs life he have to be. Its the law. You cant update a parent no he cannot b/c then you are risking getting that child taken sour of you and your wife altogether. So if he wants a paternity examination hes going to get one w/o your consent or your wives. All he have to do is take you to court.
If he doesn't know just about her pregnancy or doesn't want anything to do with it, afterwards you have it made. All your wife have to do is tell them at the hospital that you are the father and hold you put on the birth certificate. Just hope that the other man doesn't want to own anything to do with it. If he does, however, he have every right to have.
if he is the father his rights are like peas in a pod as hers because they are biologically that child's parents. nobody said you have to hold a test done. you and her can achievement like this other guy be never a possibility and go on from at hand. but i must warn you of the consequences if you do that. he can resent you, your child can resent you, your child could hold siblings and end up dating them when he/ she is elder. my best answer is to see an attorney and talk to your wife. appropriate luck.
Hatsoff to ur generous heart. Now u r justifiably married to ur wife. U have a nuptials certificate. Even if the guy would apply for even-handedness, he will be proven as inefficient & untrusted person who have rights on the child.

Once gain I want to wish u a long & joyful life. I am proud to see how right u r.
If this is truly the way you quality then don't enjoy any tests done and be prepared to embezzle this child in as your own. The problem beside this is that you do have to consider the other guys sensations here. He may want this baby as much as you and it's not gala to deny anyone the right to be there through pregnancy, birth, and individual an infant. Also if you and your wife would ever get divorced and it comes up after, the court could ask for paternity tests and later the other guy could be in for paying alot of back-childsupport. Good luck beside this one. Especially if it ends up looking like the other guy and you hold to be the one who sees this kid every daylight and gets reminded of her infidelity to you. I would need like mad of prayer over this one.
Because of the fact that you are married, the state will automatically assume the child is yours, you won't even hold to establish paternity. If he wants to conflict you on the issue, he is going to have to jump to court petition for a paternity test, and next after paternity has be established, he is going to have to move about back to court and petition for visitation or custody. He can be contained by the child's life, but it's going to purloin alot of effort officially on his part.
So if you and your wife agree that you want the child. Keep it. Ultimately he is going to enjoy to make adjectives the moves for anything to change.
Many states still consider a child born surrounded by wedlock (while you are married) to be a child of the wedding ceremony. Check with your state.

In this crust good but suppose if your wife left you for the other guy, your still on the hook for child support for 18 years or more while she (the woman who cheated on you) bring back the guy the child and the money.
There's a lot of bleak advice surrounded by here, and false facts. Yes, the baby will be presumed to be yours, and you can save it that way if you want. If it's true your wife doesn't even know who the father is (that's what you said, so...how tons affairs did she have?) afterwards it's really not even an issue. If another man IS determined to be the father, and orders a paternity check to prove it, then you are not responsible for child support (as someone said) if your wife leaves you...the biological father is entirely responsible.
Because you are married, you are reasonably the "presumed father" of any child your wife gives birth to during your bridal. The other man does not automatically have any rights. In directive to try to obtain decriminalized rights to the child, the other man would have to turn to court. The court would probably order genetic carrying out tests done to determine the biological father. However, it depends on the laws within your state. In some states, the putative father (him) does not even have standing to bring suit to seize rights to the child even if he is the biological father, unless the husband willingly give up his rights.

So I'm not saying that he couldn't possibly get hold of rights to the child; it depends on the laws of your state. But you are contained by a much better position and you do not have to do anything to be the legalized father of the child.
