Umm... I'm going to have to disagree with Gerry and Roo about the answer to number two. In Ontario, a man who lives with a woman (not even married) could apply for and get custody of or access to a child who is not his.
He could also be required to pay child support for a child who is not his if he stood 'in loco parentis' - which, literally translated, means in the place of a parent. The court looks at role the man played in the life of the child in order to determine 'in loco parentis'.
