Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana
Non Biological Father's Rights
Does a father that put his name on birth certificate knowing that the child wasn't his, have rights to that child? Also, if he hasn't been paying child support, can he be ordered to pay back child support?

He is the legal father of the child and has all rights as a father until another man is proved to be the biological father. He owes child support only from the date a petition to set child support is filed.
