    I have a child with woman who has been separated from her estranged husband for 7 years. In the state of Arkansas, I could not be put on the birth certificate because she is techinally married. Do I have any rights as a father?

    You would need to fight for any rights. Go to court and ask for a DNA test and joint custody.

    But if the husband is listed on the because you will have no rights until a court awards them.
