When my son discovered that the woman he was dating was pregnant, they got married. Shortly after the marriage she had an ultrasound to determine the sex of the baby. At that time they also realized that she had actually been pregnant when they started dating. My son decided that he would raise the baby as his own and when my grandson was born, my son was listed on the birth certificate as the father. My son and daughter-in-law have been separated for a few months. They did not have anything on paper about custody or visitation rights, but my son had my grandson who is now two years old every weekend. Recently my daughter-in-law decided to move in with her boyfriend and now does not want my son to see my grandson. What rights does my son have since he is not the biological father?

Tell your son to get a lawyer and get custody sorted out with her, but he is not the biological father, could be a problem. I guess she doesn't know who the father is. Maybe a parternity test should be in order to sort her out so she won't do this again to anyone.

It is such a shame. Now the bond has been formed between your son and your grandchild, and you as well.

Truth be told he doesn't actually have any rights if he is not the bio father; but if he gets a lawyer maybe there can be something done so he can see his 'son' when he wants.

This is not true. If they were married at the time of the birth of the child then he is the legal father regardless of DNA. Also depending on where the OP lives there may or may not be a challenge to it. So yes if he is on the borth certificate then he will need to go to court and have custody enforced.

Yes, you are right, I forgot that the issue would be that they were married at the time she had the baby.
