Re: fathers rights?

If the woman is only legally separated from the person you describe as "her ex husband", then there's a so-called rebuttable presumption in the law which recognizes him as the child's father until it's proved otherwise in an appropriate court of law.

If you are in fact the father you would have rights as such.
