In the US, no. You have to wait until the child is born.
confusing
IF YOU CAN PROVE YOUR THE BIOLOGICAL FATHER YES YOU DO HAVE RIGHTS... SEE AND ATTORNEY AND GET A PATERNITY TEST..... * Maybe. The biological father can file a custody petition after he establishes parentage. The problem is, that a child born in a marriage when the husband takes responsibility by signing the birth certificate legally becomes that man's child. If the husband objected to DNA testing to establish parentage the court WOULD NOT allow a paternity test. If the biological father had knowledge of the pregnancy and did nothing to intervene when the child was born, in all likelihood the court will rule that he voluntarily relinquished his parental rights and now has no legal rights to the child in question.
In Kansas, if the father did not begin paying child six month prior to the birth of the child, he cannot challenge an adoption. Guess how many know this?
No, the determining factor in all custodial cases is what is in the best interest of the child. If the biological father was not legally married to the child's mother it would be extremely difficult for him to obtain full custodial rights regardless of his marital state.
Yes, until orders are modified.
Yes, even prior to the birth of the child. In states like Kansas, the father has to beginning paying child support during the pregnancy in order to object to the child being placed up for adoption, upon birth.
by "signing over rights" I persume you mean, terminating her parental rights and no, she is not obligated to pay child support, however, any accumulated back child support, or "arrears" is required to be paid, unless agreed otherwise. For this you would have had a prior order to pay support prior to the terminating of the mother's rights. When your rights to a child is terminated it is as if the child was never yours and your rights to the child, and obligation for the child are forever terminated.

If he can prove through a paternity test that he is not the father, he needs to petition the court to stop child support and can ask that prior child support be returned to him.
Cannot give up rights on a non-person. Child must be born first. First there has to be a human being, a live birth in order to terminate rights from it. Also, you need the consent of the Mother. If you make a baby with someone you must terminate responsibility to it with that parent. If she will not consent, make the best of it by filing for your parental rights, begin paying support before the State comes after you and enjoy your child.
