Fort Worth, TX asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Texas

Q: DNA test was done to prove child dna, but the bio-father did not sign the birth certificate does he still have rights?

DNA testing done on the Maury show, he was provenn to be the father.

He wants visitation, and custody rights but the mother is very controlling and only allows him to see daughter when she sees fit.

A: The biological father does have parental rights to the child. If Mother is not allowing him to see his child, then he should get a court order that establishes some custody or visitation rights.

I hope this helps. Good luck.
