[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, the best interests of the child are what matters and you are legally his father once you take resposibility for him and assume the role of father (which you have). You hare a legal right to be this child's father and a moral obligation, and it sounds like you love him as a son. He will have two fathers in his life.[/quote] You don't know what you're talking about. The law will side with the biological parents the second they decide they want to assume a more active role in the child's life. If the biological father wants to assume his parenting role and takes the OP to court, the OP will have no chance in hell, none at all. The bio dad will be entitled to make every single decision in the child's life. OP won't be able to make a single one. So stop talking about legal rights because OP will have NONE once the biodad decides to step in. [/quote] Key word, IF. Biodad is liable to cut and run the moment DNA, $$$, or time is asked for. Right now it's visiting a cute kid a few times a month with no obligations or maybe a spare $100 slipped to the mom every now and again. If biodad steps in and agrees to assume a paternal role, you are right, OP won't have many rights at all. At 2.5, this is young enough that the kid won't be *too* negatively affected unless bio-dad/mom are a pack of nutters, but that'd be damage done if OP stays in a paternal role. If biodad actually agrees to assume a paternal role, OP's best course is to gracefully exit stage right, with a possible "uncle" role if the mom/bio-dad can agree to it over the long-term. [/quote]
