Thank you for your comments :) I went to a solicitors and unfortunitly i have had to do a DNA test and will have the results in two weeks. My husband has no rights and my daughter biological father is entitled to 10hours a week supervised visits. I agree whole heartedly my daughter has a right to know her father but isnt it my job to protect her. My husband and i just want to keep her safe and stop getting hurt, but the law is on he's side unfortunitly. Thanks again for you advice :)
speak to a solicitor,as he hasnt been in her life they should only allow supervised visits,voice your concerns and they will make sure your child is only allowed to be with him under the laws that will protect your child.
It would be good if she could see her father especially as she gets older, but maybe in different circumstances than you describe here as it doesn't make him a bad dad.. I agree visiting him in a trailer with dog and brother may not be good but he may agree to visitation under different circumstances .Its the child's life that matters and she has a right to know her bio father .
You need to get an attorney. I don't know what the laws are in the UK, but in the US the husband is the legal father of the child. He could give up his parental rights, and you could decide to acknowledge the biofather, but some interloper can't just come into the family unit and demand the child.
An attorney consult for this shouldn't cost too much.
