A quick definition of Uniform Putative and Unknown Fathers Act:

The Uniform Putative and Unknown Fathers Act is a set of rules made in 1988 to help unmarried fathers understand their rights when it comes to their children. The Act talks about things like when a father should be told if someone wants to adopt his child, how he can prove that he is the father, and how he can spend time with his child. It is also called the Model Putative Fathers Act or the Putative Fathers Act.

A more thorough explanation:

The Uniform Putative and Unknown Fathers Act (UPUFA) is a model statute created in 1988 to establish the rights of unwed fathers in relation to their children. The act aims to codify Supreme Court decisions on this issue.

The UPUFA primarily deals with the following rights of an unwed father:

For example, if an unwed father is not notified of a termination or adoption proceeding involving his child, the UPUFA provides him with the right to challenge the decision and potentially gain custody or visitation rights.

The UPUFA is also known as the Model Putative Fathers Act or Putative Fathers Act.
