Your dating this guy that got you pregnant and hes still married but separated from his wife and is a complete lowlife Does he or will he ever have any chance of getting the baby after its born?

Answer 1

The biological father can petition the court to have a paternity test to prove paternity. Once paternity is proven, the father can petition the court for visitation or custody. In most cases, the father would have to prove the mother unfit in order to receive full custody. The father is likely to get visitation unless the mother can prove a reason why he is an unfit father or there is a valid reason for the court to deny visitation.

In the case of a married or separated man getting a girl pregnant, he isn't likely to petition the court to do anything. First, he probably won't want to pay child support if he is being a dead beat dad from the start. Second, he won't want to own up to his infidelity.


The most important thing is to seek legal counsel if the father does petition the court for visitation or custody.
