At the very least, he will get visitation rights with the child if the child is his. At the worst (for you), he may obtain custody of the child with you receiving visitation rights. The days of mom automatically winning are over. You should consult with an attorney as soon as possible.

If he is the father then he gets all rights of a father.....including visitation and having to pay child support. By your lying about the baby, it could work against you. How can you claim he should not see your child yet you thought he was good enough to have sex with and bear a child with?
