Legal Question in Family Law in Indiana

I am married to someone who is not the biological father of my son, am I considered his only legal guardian? Or would my husband be considered his legal guardian, too?

1. Has a court determined paternity?

2. If so, then what does your decree say? If not, was your son born during the marriage to your husband?

3. If your H is not legally the father, then unless your H adopts your son, or a court makes him guardian INSTEAD of you, assuming there is no legal father, than your current husband has no rights in the matter.

If you would like to be more specific about why you are asking this question and what you are worried about, then a more specific answer could be provided.
