Legal Question in Family Law in California
I have participated in infidelity and impregnated another woman. I'm married and my wife has made it clear that I must terminate all contact with this other person or she will demand a devorce and full custody of our daughter. I have made a mistake and am truely thankful that my wife is offering me another chance. Is there any legal way I can omit my self from the other woman. We have talked and she is willing to stay out of my families life but are there any documents that will prevent her from entering in the future.

No, because the rights and responsibilities involved aren't just yours and hers. The child has rights too and the right to demand you live up to your responsibilities. So the child or the mother on behalf of the child can legally seek to establish and enforce the responsibilities of your paternal relationship to the child. Neither you nor the mother can waive any of that, except if she marries and her husband adopts the child. That is the only way you can sever your paternal rights and duties.
