It doesn't matter if a person is married to the father of the child - well, not to Legacy, anyway! When in the marriage information window, you can select under Marriage Status "Never married" and then at the bottom you can word how you want it to show on the reports "Mary had a child by" or something to that effect and how you want the parents to show - default is husband/wife but you can change that to father/mother. That change will apply *only* for the relationship that you're setting at the moment.
If you're not happy with any of the status choices, you can always add your own.
