My youngest son is legally my ex-husband's child according to a court order - his name is on the birth certificate. There was a paternity test done after this & my ex was not biologially his father. The biological father has not been there for the child physically, emotionally, or finacially. My ex has been the only father this child has know & has provides finacially for him since my pg with him. Now, the bilogical father is seeking rights. I do not want this man in this child's life especially with this child adusting to my divorce that has happened in the past year.
