Re: custody rights nonbiological father

As of now, none. You can, however, file to establish conservatorship under these circumstances. It will be complicated, and all of the parties involved will need to be noticed, and paternity established. It is possible that the biological fathers will be willing to terminate their parental rights. Locate a lawyer to assist you.
