As the father, he does have rights. But if you want them restricted, you have the option of filing with the probate and family court as soon as possible a complaint for custody, support and visitation, along with a motion for temporary orders that includes a request for custody and child support. At the motion hearing, you can voice your concerns and make a request for a limited visitation schedule. However, it's usually better to do a full consultation before you do anything yourself.
