What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX
A father that never married the mother finds out after 5 years the child isn't his. He raised the child as if it were his, was there everyday, helping with homework, etc...like any good parent would. He wants to continue the relationship with the child, but does not want the financial obligation of supporting the child. Can he petition and successfully attain visitation rights?
If the real Dad was to be located at some point and he received visitation rights as well, how would the court deal with 3 people having visitation rights with a child like that?
