In custody cases, the primary focus is on the best interests of the child, rather than the parents' marital history. If a mother had an affair and the child is not biologically hers or her husband's, the court will consider various factors, including the child's relationship with both parents, stability, and the ability to provide a nurturing environment. If the mother can demonstrate that she has been a primary caregiver and can continue to provide a loving home, she may still be awarded custody despite the affair. Ultimately, the decision will depend on the specific circumstances of the case and the laws in the relevant jurisdiction.
When married you have equal rights to the child.
If you are married to the mother, no. Then you share everything naturally. But if you have a child and you are separated or not married to the mother, and you do not have custody of the children, you have to pay child support
No, if they are married they have equal custody.
Not without the permission of the child's biological mother. When a couple are not married and there is not a custodial order from the court, the law presumes that the mother has sole custody of the child in question.
Aside from the fact that would be a minor medical miracle, I assume you mean having an affair? see link
Yes, only Arizona is different.
Unless they are married or he has custody he has to return the child or it will be kidnapping. If you are not married and you have not established paternity yet or have not petitioned for visitation or custody she does not have to let you see the child. When not married she automatically get custody since there is proof she is the parent.
The mother. The father have to petition the court for shared custody.
If married, he doesn't have to.
The court care about what is in the best interest of the children and just because one parents had an affair does not mean they are unfit to parent. It can be shared custody or one get it. The court wants the children to have access to both parents. The affair will not be the thing that decides custody.
Depends if it is a single trailer or a double-wide
She already has sole legal custody as an unmarried mother. He can petition for visitation and pay child support.
