A: When the child is born you can file a suit affecting the parent-child relationship. That will allow you to get an order from the court regarding where the child will live, who the child will live with, visitation, child support, health insurance, and medical expenses not covered by insurance.

During that case, you can let the court know what your concerns are and ask for supervised visitation.
