Well i hate to say it yes he does. Now if you don't know where he is or any relatives of any sort. Then i would suggest looking into letting your husband adopt her. Final adoption papers going through posting in legal publication if you are not sure of his where abouts and just follow it all the way threw. Its really not that difficult at all. And if iam not mistaken in any state your daughter should be of age where she can sign on the adoption papers that she wants your husband to adopt her. Let me know if you need any other information. I have already gone through with this helping my finace with his kids...

What are the rights of a biological father who has not seen his child in ten years?
My daughter's father and I were never marrid, in fact he is not even listed on her birth certificate. He was involved in her life until she was about 2 1/2 years old. He left the state and has had no contact in almost 10 years. He has not paid child support or been involved in her life in any way in 10 years. I have since married and have other children and provide a stable loving home. My daughter is well adjusted and does wonderfully in school. My daughter does not remember her father and has a strong emotional attachment to my husband as he is the only father she has ever known. I have been told that her father has contacted an attorney to obtain visitation. I do not know this as fact, only rumor at this point. I live in Michigan and I believe he lives in Kentucky. Does he have righ

The absent father always has a right in the childs life. However if you were not married and he is not on the birth certificate there is not alot he can do. He can file a motion with the court but he would have to take a parentialy test to prove that he is the father first and that is exspence. After the test then he can file for visitations,but if he does there will also be a order for child support. Means he is in a different state makes a difference also,he may have to file in your state. I would not woory to much about it. If he thinks that much of his child and willing to put out all this money to prove parentily and go to court and pay child support then maybe he has changed. But either way he does have the legal right to file. As far as the parently test goes the burned of proof is upon him to prove that he is or is not the father. Let him put out the bucks .
