CAN I GET CUSTODY OF MY TWO KIDS IF MY WIFE GOT PREGNANT BY ANOTHER MAN?

QUESTION: My wife left me for another man and ended up getting pregnant by mistake while we're still married. Would this give me total say so in the courts? I don't even want to be nasty and try and take the kids away. I just want equal custody of our two kids. She can file one and I file one on our income taxes. I just want what's fair.

MY RESPONSE: You should promptly file a Motion for DNA Paternity Testing if she got pregnant by another man before the separation. California has no-fault divorces. Your wife's getting pregnant by another man after separation but before divorce is irrelevant to the issue of child custody, so the Court would likely not admit any evidence of your wife's affair or pregnancy under those circumstances. Child Custody is based on the relationships of the respective parents with the children, and the quality of their parenting. Seek child custody and income tax emptions based on the merits of the relevant facts in your case.
