Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland
Custody
My questions is this, my daughter is pregnant and is not married to the father I wanted to know what rights he has if anything would happen to my daughter. We recently had an experience where someone my older daughter was friends with died during child birth, oviously I want everything to go well, but things happen. I just want to know what rights he has to the baby.

Re: Custody
You daughter should carefully consider whether or not to list the potential father on the birth certificate. If she does not list him, he will have no rights to the child until paternity has been established and custody and visitation have been determined.
