Biological fathers rights vs husbands
My husband and I seperated about 18 months ago for various reasons. Approximately 9 months after our seperation I became involved with a man (we'll call him Jack) and almost immediately became pregnant by him. My daughter (and Jacks) is now 3 weeks old. He and I are no longer together for various reasons and we will not ever be getting back together.I signed the ROP. Jack has not.To my understanding it'll have to go thru the courts IF he decides to do so. Can he (Jack) still attempt to fight for his custodial rights or parental rights if my husband refuses to sign the non parenting statement? From what I've been told by the medical recorder at the hospital, my husband has up to 1 yr after my daughters birth to sign this but he doesn't HAVE to sign it since we are technically still married. Is this true? Can he be forced to sign? What rights or actions can Jack take? Jack claims he has 3 yrs to sign the ROP and fight for his rights. Is this also true?
