Yes, once he establishes his rights in a courtroom. He has the right to file a suit for paternity, and a suit affecting parent-child relationship. The court will then either consider your agreement as to the child; or the evidence at trial; and render a decision that addresses issues of conservatorship, possession, access and support.
