Re: Rights
If you mean "a child that is born to parents who are not married" - It is important that the father - if he is sure - signed an Acknowledgement of Paternity, Register with the Paternity Registry, and File a Petition with the appropriate Court for an Order adjudicating him as the father. The other rights and duties vary widely with each situation.
Thanks.
