Ok so here is what I need to know my wife was 2 months pregnet when I got with her but I knew her for awile first. Well we got married before my daughter was born and I'm on her birth certificate as the father now 4 years later he wants in her life is there anything I can do to stop that? Me and the wife don't want him in her life at all

By the way we where married in fl and our daughter was born in az

Which is the state of your residence?The law varies from state to state.

As pointed out each state has their own set of laws. Are you still in AZ or was that just where she was born? In some states there isn't much you can do. He goes to court and gets a paternity test done and gets his rights to his child. In other states there is a SOL that has a set number of years for how long the paternity can be challenged.

We are in fl now

The bio father can file in court to prove paternity and ask for a dna test. If this is accepted and approved in the court, then he can request anything from joint custody to visits.

I will note, that he is bio father and unless your state specificly will not give him legal rights, he will have them.

And of course the child needs to know this growing up, since if it is hidden and he latter finds out, it is going to cause serious stress for him

Would you like to cite the code and article which give rights to someone to file a paternity case when the family is intact?
According to Fl Paternity act and court cases the BF does not have standing to file and all cases are dismissed.

Thank you so much gv70 you are a life saver you have brought my stress level down 10 fold
