Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland

legal rights of wife

I have been married to my husband for 7 months, and we were together for 5 years prior. During a brief separation, my husband (we weren't yet married then) got another woman pregnant. She refuses to have any contact with me, and it has been the child is now 3 years old. It is stressful and confusing to our family, especially our 5 year old son. Anything we can do legally or any suggestions?
