I had an affair and got pregnant, can my married mpango claim I trapped him?

 I had an affair
I had an affair with a married man who takes good care of me I however accidentally conceived four months ago This has strained my relationship with the man

I have an affair with a married man who takes good care of me. However, I accidentally conceived four months ago after the condom raptured.

I did not want to take emergency pills as I do not believe in abortion at all.

This has strained my relationship with the man who argues that he does not want children out of wedlock as his wife would divorce him on grounds of adultery.

 Do I have any options to ensure he maintains the child knowing that he may snub me arguing that I conceived accidentally after the condom raptured?Effie, Eldoret. 

Dear Effie,

You have options to ensure that both of you (biological parents) equally provide for the upkeep and maintenance of the baby after birth.

Legally, it will be an uphill task to convince the court not to cater for the best interests of the child because he/she is a product of a ruptured condom or any other family planning method gone sour.

Once a child is born, it is the constitutional duty and responsibility of both parents to equally contribute towards the upbringing of the baby – whether the parents are married to each other or not.

On the other hand, the wife of the father of your baby may have valid grounds to institute divorce proceedings against him (if she wishes) on grounds of adultery – having sexual relations with a person you are not married to.

Nevertheless, the divorce may not mean that he is exempted from catering for the child he fathered.
