What legal rights do i have in regards to my unborn child.?

i live in the state of Montana and my ex-girlfriend is pregnant and i want to be a part of the babies life. if she doesnt tell me anything, do i have any rights before she gives birth? or do i only get parental rights after the birth and paternity proof?

Answer:
I am so sorry to say that as of right now you have no rights - zip. Even after the baby is born you will have no rights unless paternity is established and your name is on the birth certificate. If she doesn't come around before hand you can bet your butt that if you want to see your baby - you will end up paying a lot of money for every other weekend visitation. Fathers seem to have no rights - you should try and find a fathers rights advocate group in your area - they really do help.
Your best bet is to get an attorney if you can. You do have rights before the baby is born, but it's hard to establish it on your own.
you do not have rights before the baby is born. It's her body, you don't have any legal rights to what goes on with it. After the baby is born, you will have to take her to court and establish paternity before you will have parental rights.
no rights right now. and if she denies you being the father non till you prove that you are and take her to court. You get no right till you go and pay a lawyer for them.
