Yes, he has rights, which will be spelled out when he goes to court, assuming he requests custody and/or parenting time. Ther is no piece of paper he can go get now AHEAD of the court hearing which will be enforced against mother before or without a hearing in court.

He has no rights as of now to enforce against the mother. He need to file for paternity and once he does so, set the matter for a hearing as soon as possible so that he can establish his rights.
