July 1, 200917 yr I did a quick Google search, as it just sounds so illogical. Apparently, if the marriage has been deemed to be over for ten months - regardless of whether they are still officially married - the father would have no paternal rights to a child born "out of wedlock" to his estranged wife. http://www.allbusiness.com/society-social/families-children-family-law/10204373-1.html There you go. In the case I cited, the woman had left the husband, but they were not estranged and reconciled. You just showed an exception. I see the reasoning behind the ruling, but I agree w/ you, it is harsh.
