VerifiedWhat decisions do you mean when you say he has to make some decisions?
Is it about the woman or about the baby?
What do you mean when you ask about recourse?
Is it about the woman or about the baby?
What do you mean when you ask about recourse?
OK.
I see.
Your son has the same rights that she has to custody of the baby, once the baby is born.
If he wants sole custody he will have to prove that this is in the best interests of the child. Proving she tricked him into getting her pregnant won't likely be considered as relevant as it does not factor in to how she will parent.
If your son wants to allege mentally instability he is going to need expert testimony to prove this and again, will have to prove this affects her parenting.
If the child lives with him she will be required to pay child support just as he will if the child lives with her.
If he wants to pursue sole custody and does not believe she will consent it's best that he consult with a family lawyer before the baby is born.
What you can do to find a lawyer is one of the following things.
You can contact the Law Society and use their Lawyer Referral Service. You will be given the name of a lawyer and can consult with the lawyer and the first half hour will be free.
Or you can check on a site called lexpert. This is a legal directory of leading lawyers and law firms throughout Canada and is well-respected by the legal community.
