No. She does not have to by law. It is up to the woman to discuss with people she trusts and make the decision for herself.

If you were with a woman one time and she became pregnant are you obligated to pay child support if you do not want the child?

Yes, the issue of a biological father not wanting the woman to bear the child is irrelevant and will not affect his legal obligation to support that child. Both parents of a minor child are legally obligated to financially support that child until he or she reaches the stated age of majority.

If a married woman has a child with another man who is the legal father?

Well of course it would be the other mans child regardless of whether you are married or not.Clarification:In some states, the husband is legally considered the father, even if he is not the biological father, and is financially responsible for the child. There are also some states in which the biological father has to pay child support to the mother, even if she is still married to her husband. So you really need to check on your state's laws concerning this.

What rights does a man have if a woman said she was on birth control but wasn't and got pregnant?

A man is legally responsible for his actions and any claims thereon as father of a child. I must add that birth control in itself is no guarantee that a woman can't become pregnant. As a contraceptive, birth control is only 99.9% effective even if taken correctly.


If your wife gets pregnant by someone else is the husband classed as the legal father?

Not sure if this is true with all states, however, in the state of CA. yes.In fact, an attorney once told me, if an unmarried pregnant woman marries someone whom did NOT father the child, the husband automatically becomes the legal father when she gives birth.My assumption is, if the biological father decides to exercise his parental rights, he would need to file with the court to establish paternity.
