It all depends on who is representing who and can demonstrate the best interest of the child. Custody Cases are not cheap and if you get the right lawyer the first time, you shouldn't be needing to going back and forth in court. The paternity father will be able to establish paternity and get joint legal custody with visitation. And or if he is really competent and or has a good lawyer, the judge will grant him 50/50 deal. Where you and him both will share custody of the child and parenting time. If you want to limit his chances or the time he spends with the child, you should hire a competent and aggressive family law attorney that will fight tooth and nail for you in court.
