What to do if my son’s wife is denying him rights to their unborn child because he doesn’t do what she says?
She’s full of rage and anger.She starts fights just to fight, both mentally and physically. She leaves and comes back over and over again. She’s mad cause he smokes. However she smokes too. Has not even quit and she’s pregnant. She’s staying at her parents last few weeks and has denied him well baby doctor visits. Swears she will make him pay dearly to prove he’s the baby’s father before he will ever see it. And that she will be a breast feeding mother and no court will take a baby from a beast feeding mother to allow daddy visits. Can she really do this? They are married. This is his baby. What does he do?

So long as they are married and living together the wife cannot deny your son rights to his child. Likewise after the child's birth, only a court order can deny visiting rights as well as custody rights in the event of a legal separation. I suggest that your son and his wife consult with a marriage counselor.
