Ultimately, unless you had an agreement where he could visit him then he has no rights at all. You do not describe the relationship; thus, there are many possibilities from your short three sentences. However, he would have to go to court and file a motion in order to obtain anything by way of visitation. Without a court order he has nothing and, I suspect, it would take a lot for a judge to order visitation with a child to a man who has no legal relationship with the child.
Hope this helps.
