Does she "have" to tell him? No. "Should" she tell him? Probably. If she chooses to seek child support from him now or in the future, he will obviously find out. If he finds out from another manner, he could use her failure to notify him as a basis to seek custody from her.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
