Is she going out with her Gotham costar?

People are expected to not date anyone until all the legal stuff is done?Dating is one thing, but getting pregnant is another thing altogether.
I doubt a law against adultery (with a married person) would be much of a problem for someone with money, but it could certainly influence terms of settlement in a divorce.

Depending on which USA state has jurisdiction in a case like this, the husband at the time is legally the presumptive father of a child, and legally responsible for that child and its care. Sure the courts could sort all that out, eventually...

HOWEVER, if there happened to be a worst case scenario, like the mother dying during childbirth, or being unconcious and a medical crisis came up, the married man would have the legal authority to make ALL MEDICAL DECISIONS for his wife AND the baby. The "baby daddy" would have absolutely NO STANDING to make ANY decisions.
If the medical staff did take decision(s) from the "baby daddy", they would open the hospital, doctor(s) and staff up to massive lawsuits for their illegal conduct. Do you think the staff would risk that? I doubt they would...

There is also the HIPA Laws (Health Information Privacy Act, Federal Law governing the USA), and I can tell you a hospital staff would not allow me to even enter my wife's hospital room after she was brought in unconcious, after she was found that way by her landlord. I could not "visit" in spite of the fact that I had even brought our marriage license with me, and a state issued photo ID!!!! Their rules, or the HIPA laws, would only allow someone on a visitors's list and approved by the patient to see them, and the same thing applied to all medical information!@@@!!!!
Remember she was found unconcious and brought to the hospital that way, so no visitors! Who would have expected that?


Here is an interesting example scenario...
Mother suffers some medical crisis, and the doctors must chose whether to save the mother or the child. "Baby daddy" has no legal right or authority to make a decision like that. If the husband was "upset" at the whole state of affairs, who do you think he would pick to die? Hmm, pick the wife that cheated on him, or the product of that cheating, the baby? Decisions, decisions, and what if he deliberately decided not to choose, with the intention both would die?


Since she was born in Brazil, then raised in Europe, would she have known about laws like that, or even considered such things?
