    Biological father not on birth certificate and wants his child
    %ust find out that I have a year old little girl but the mother is married and doesn't want me in her life. I was never told that the child was mine or ever asked for anything to care for her. Now that the paternity results are in she's 99.99% mine and I want to be in her life but I can see that's going to be a challenge at best. What can I do?

    Was it a court ordered test? And has there been a challenge to the existing legal father?

    Depending on where you live, it is no challenge at all. If the DNA test was court ordered, you file a motion to establish paternity( assume you already did, to get a DNA test) now you make a motion to the court for a custody order, you ask for joint custody of some level or just ask for proper visitation. Then child support will be set.

    It is all a matter of getting some court orders to allow you to visit or have some level of custody.

    In a few states, it will be harder but it is still a matter of attorney and going to court
