Once you have a child together it is pretty much the same as a divorce. There is no community property, but that can sometimes actually make it MORE complicated to sort out who gets what. As far as your son is concerned, the law makes no distinction whatsoever between what happens if you were married when he was born or not - it's the same as a divorce as far as options, obligations, law and issues.
