A:
A court could determine that a child belongs with their parent, if that parent is capable of being the responsible person for the child's wellbeing. Parents are the preferred people to raise their children. If you cannot raise the child, and he can, then he may be able to have primary physical custody.
As the chid's father, he has rights to be in the child's life, just as you want him to pay for the child he wants to be a part of the raising of the child.
