    Unhappy Can a Legal Father Lose His Rights

    in texas,

    im legally married going through a divorce, my husband has taken responsibility for my child knowing that baby is not his. we know who bio father is but he hasn't been in picture through out pregnancy and birth, till now, and wants his rights. baby was born while i was still legally married, but there is no name on birth certificate of any father, and baby has my married last name cause i wasn't planning on changing it anyways. question is: legal father, husband wants to stay in babies life and take care of her like his own, he did not sign denial of paternity, he is willing to accept responsibility, can bio father take away my husbands rights, and leave my husband with no rights at all.
    is it possible to have both in babies life? not for child support but husband has really gotten attached to baby like his own.

    Your questions will ultimately be answered by the judgment in the lawsuit.

    Fathers, however, do have rights to their kids.

    Whatever the outcome, absent an unlikely order from the court that your husband can't have contact with the child, you can allow him whatever access you choose to offer.
