As far as I know if he's been acting as one of her legal guardians for this long, he likely could make an attempt at shared custody at the very least. Even if he doesn't get it seems worth it to try.
Pulling a baby through a custody battle like that is cruel on the child... and if you aren't a biological parent I don't think you really stand a chance
Abandoning a child who has been raised by you their entire life because your DNA doesn't match is also cruel. One scenario she gets a chance to keep him in her life. The other, she only has her mom and whatever new males she drags into their lives.

And if you can prove you've acted as the child's legal guardian for that length of time, I'm fairly certain the courts will at the very least consider it. Whether it end up being 50-50 custody or just weekend visitation. If he really loves her as much as he claims I'd think it would be worth fighting for.

Nothing is worse than watching a child you care about be emotionally ruined and tortured by someone who should never have been allowed to have children in the first place. If he can negate even a little of that and he cares about her it seems worthwhile to try
@kittyrawrrawr actually he would stand a very real chance of at least getting visitation or partial custody, especially if he is listed on the birth certificate.
Hey guys don't forget there's also the chance that him and the mother weren't together. Like maybe he would pay child support and look after her every so often, and now that he found out she's not his he really has no right to be getting his time with her anymore. It can also be read as though the mother doesn't want him seeing her anymore
Actually in some states, even if he's not biologically the father, if he signed the birth certificate he's still on the hook for child support unless he goes through a long court process because that was his agreement by signing the certificate. It also grants him certain rights. But obviously he doesn't really care since she's not biologically his she isn't worth his time.
What a cop out. A sperm donation doesn’t make a father, it’s from your heart. If you love her you stay. She doesn’t understand genetics , just that she loves you. Get your shit together , both parents , and put that Tiny Lady first above your stupid squabbles .
That's difficult
