Im about to be a father of a child who is not mine, but I think of her as
my
own. There is just one problem. My girlfriends ex boyfriend who is the
biological father is a dead beat who has a record of child abuse and
domestic
violence. my girlfriend feels that her baby should have no part in his
life
because Of his record and how he treated her when they were together. We
would like to have it where she has full custody. So my question is what
are
her right? She wasn't married to the guy (fyi)

She needs to consult a lawyer.



Yes, exactly.

I don't know of any US jurisdiction that allow bio parents to sign away rights,
unless the child is formally adopted by the stepfather. Marriage between the
mother and her boyfriend would need to take place first.

And I could be wrong (though that's my understanding) - what's needed here is a
consultation with a lawyer familliar with the family law of her jurisdiction.
