    What are my rights as an inwed father in the state of California
    My child's mother is pregnant and is cutting me out of her life already and telling me she is going to deny me the right to a paternity test and that I will only be able to see our child on her terms

    So you laugh and as soon as the child is born you file in court for a paternity test though the court ( she would be in contempt of court if she refuses) You also file for court ordered visits with the child ( again if she refuses, you take her back to court) and you arrange to start paying child support though the court

    Also check to see if your state has a putative father registry, and get on it ASAP.

    While I sort of agree with Chuck to laugh at her since she knows nothing about the law, I would recommend refraining until AFTER you file for custody/visitation. If you let her know your plans beforehand she might try bolting.

    By the way, you have the same rights as a father, whether you are or were married to the mother or not.
