My husand and I got married when I was 7 months pregnant with anothers mans child. We were married August 19, 2006, he is on the birth certificate as her father. I have not had contact with the Bio father since July 16, 2006. Our daughter was born in October of 2006 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. My huband is in the the Military and he is stationed in Florida. After our baby was born we, meaning the baby and I, moved to Florida with my husband. My question is, what is the rights that the bio father has in both states, Louisiana and Florida? And in which state do the rights apply to us? We are not residents of Florida, but we both have Florida DL. Is there a time limit in each state to where the bio father has to acknowledge his rights to the child? If so, what is the time limit. I was told by a friend that in Louisiana after 2 years of no contact or attemt of contact that all of his rights are knoll and void. Is that true? Is it the same in Florida? I don't want the bio father to have anything to do with us. He asked me to have an abortion twice and told me that girls are too many problems. Please someone help me figure all of this out! Thank you so much for your help.

Is there some reason to believe that the biological father is going to reenter the picture? If not, for your edification, you can look up Florida laws here and Louisiana laws here.

I don't think he is going to reenter the picture, but you never know. There is always that possibility. I just would like to know what laws apply to us.
