First of all, the thing to realize as a parent is that children cannot be owned by one parent or the other. As much as possible you optimistically need to make arrangements to share the responsibility of caring for the child. I mean that you have to think the best of the other (unless they have been arrested) and work within those boundaries to make quality memories.
So, you have not married the mother of the child. In most places that means that you are liable for child support and should be able to obtain visitation. You should also expect that there will be expenses along the way that you will need to contribute to.
I know I am sounding unsympathetic, but still this is a child and for a while, at least, the child is best with its mother. Keep your eye on the ball and realize that neither of you is capable of being the perfect parent--just do your best to keep involved in your child's life.
AnswerHe needs to petition for full custody and provide evidence to the court that the mother is unfit and a change in custody would be in the best interest of the child. After hearing the evidence the court will render a decision.
The factors used to determine that a parent is unfit are generally governed by state laws with child endangerment being the determining factor. The following include some of the reasons a parent may be declared unfit:
- physical, emotional and sexual abuse
- excessive discipline
- failure to protect the child from abuse by others
- failure to report abuse of the child
- neglect- failure to provide food, clothing, proper hygiene, necessary medical treatment, schooling
- failure to provide proper medical care
- failure to provide day to day parental care
- serious illness or disability
- mental illness
- substance abuse or addiction
- Alcoholism
- criminal activity and/or associations
- incarceration
- conduct or conditions that are seriously detrimental to the child
- abandonment
- child endangerment
- leaving the child unattended or in the care and supervision of a child
- a failure to provide adequate supervision
- unsafe living conditions
- a medical condition that makes it impossible for the parent to adequately care for the child

If an unmarried couple have a six year old together and living together and the woman gets pregnant by another man can the unmarried father get custody of the six year old due to her infidelity?
This would depend on that states Common Law Marriage rules I would presume. But I would venture to say, no he has no rights to that child at all.

What rights does a father have if not married to the mother?
An unmarried father must establish his paternity and arrange for a custody hearing if he wants custody. Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must establish his paternity by signing the birth certificate at the time of birth (waiving DNA testing rights) which must be done with mother's consent. If he doesn't sign the birth certificate then he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity has been established the father can request visitations, joint custody, full custody or the court will set up a schedule of regular child support payments for the child if she is to remain in the custody of her mother. The court will schedule a hearing and issue an order that is in the best interest of the child.

If you have joint custody then you should see legal counsel. Other arrangements must be made so you still have visitation rights of your child. Perhaps, if you agree, you could ask for your child during special holidays, etc. If you don't have joint custody (she has full custody) there isn't much you can do.
Does a man always get custody when there is an affair?
No, a man does not always get custody.

This is the same vice versa, too.
