A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, a “father” is defined as a male parent who has a legal relationship with a child, either by biological relation or through legal recognition such as adoption or acknowledgment of paternity. The father has legal rights and responsibilities towards the child, including providing financial support, making decisions about the child’s upbringing, and having visitation or custody rights.
Example: The father was granted sole custody of the children in the divorce settlement.
