Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

When the child is born, as the natural mother the law will

recognize you as having such (sole) custody rights, and, other than giving birth,

you need do nothing more.

with the appropriate J&DR;Court to have the paternity of this

child established, and, if proven to be him, then whatever rights as well as obligations the court is willing to establish at that time as a result of the paternity finding.
