    Listen this is simple.. its the law and its in the stickies...

    He can't sign away his parental rights.. the law is the law...

    Marry someone else then petition to have that man adopt the child... and then, and only then will his parental rights end when he agrees to allow the adoption.

    Until that happens.. he IS the child's father and he WILL have the right to see the child or even file for visitation and custody. His rights are equal to yours.

    The father cannot give up his rights unless the child is placed for adoption, or there's another man that wants to adopt.

    If, as OP writes, he doesn't acknowledge paternity and refuses to take a DNA test, it's not likely that he is on the birth certificate. And if he isn't, he can't just "just pop" and demand visitation. He would have to get a court order.

    True... its easy enough for him to assert it... it just has to be through the courts. I should not have left that bit out of my answer.
