Yes. There are statutes now that specifically permit the biological father to file an action. Your child's biological father will need to consult an attorney.

Actually, your soon-to-be ex husband has only presumptive parental rights to your child who was born of another man during your marriage. The presumption can be overcome with evidence that another man is the biological father. Once the other man is determined to be the natural father, then ex-husband has no rights of custody or visitation to that child. This can all be accomplished in your divorce case.
