Just remember that if you ever get to a co-hab stage, the kid will play you against his mother.
You will always lose.
The only way that this will not be true is if the mom makes it clear that in the home you have the say that a father has, even though you are not his father. Not likely to happen. And the natural fater has to buy into this as well.
Counciling (to assist in negotiating terms) is highly recommeneded before any co-hab.
Good luck!
