If you conceived the baby while married, then divorced, the father has the same rights as any father.
Yes, you would most likely have full physical custody and joint legal custody. That means the child lives with you, but you and the father make any legal decisions together or the court decides for you if you cannot agree.
You should file with the court as soon as possible to get support and visitation arrangements set up.

Well, I would suggest joint custody. The father has just as much right to the child as you do.
If you fight for custody, it is going to costs thousands of dollars, and you will have a 50/50 chance of winning full custody, or you will end up mediating a joint custody, which is what you should have done in the first place.
I would suggest using a mediator to work out a joint custody agreement, and visitation terms, and working so the child would have full access to the child.
Remember, that both of you are the child's parents, and the child would do best to have contact wtih both his father and mother on a regular and equal basis if possible.
Good luck.

If you live in the US...
Not necessarily. The biological father has as much right to custody as she does, rather they were married or not. With that said, in cases where one parent is granted full custody, judges generally grant custody of infants to the mother unless they are unfit in some way. But more and more judges are granting joint custody because they realize that just because someone is a woman does not automatically mean they are a better parent.
And in fact, the ‘tender years doctrine’ (the policy of *automatically* granting custody of children of ‘tender years’ to the mother unless she’s unfit) has been ruled in some states to be unconstitutional because it’s discrimination on the basis of gender. But, in my state (and in most) judges still follow it.

nicely alimony is oftentimes provided if there is "data" which you have not got any working skills...which includes in he "made" you reside abode and be a housewife, and so on. finished custody is a no longer worry-free ruling. it incredibly relies upon on how "careless" he's. Is there any police or scientific documentation the place he's responsible for her care and he or she has been injured? A decide will take all into attention yet via no skill in basic terms your "opinion" of him being a clumsy father. in case you may flow, which could be gruesome...he could be provided visitation and you'd be arranged to have your daughter be a techniques far flung from you collectively as vacationing him. i'd stay interior the comparable section as he's residing to dodge the timeshare plans they in many situations use at the instant. (father gets toddler any such great style of days, and mom gets toddler any such great style of days) reliable luck.

no, becuase it happend while the y were still together. the father might want to make her take a prego test, even if he has to go to court to get it!!! it woulnd be wise to tyr to get full custody, it will affect the baby, and give both of the parents even more stress....

My niece was in this exact position; dates showed the baby was conceived in wedlock. He's paying child support but it took a court order to get him to do it.

It depends on the state you are in and if anyone else is fighting for custody.

probably joint custody, or visitations, unless she wants to give the baby to him

It depends on if she can provide a good life for the child or not.

The father ALWAYS have rights! If you don't allow him to exercise these rights, the courts will if he wants them.
