Re: rights of non bilogical father
If her ex-husband is the child's biological father, then he can file an action to be declared so, and he can then request visitation, etc. with the child.
Unless he can prove that you pose some threat or danger to the child, I don't know why the Court would keep you from being around the child, especially if you are married to the child's mother.
As for what rights you may have, if you are not the child's biological father, you might be able to try to assert some rights as the child's "psychological parent" if you can prove the necessary elements to do so.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
