Martin,
This situation is where you use private marriage and private
child-parent relationship.
The relationship between your male family member (father) and the
mother should be marked as private. Mark his relationship with child
as private.
As the mother is visible to the family, she should not be marked as
invisible or private. How to set her relationship with the child is
based on the "visibility" of the child.
If the child is living with the mother and visible to the family,
then let the child's relation to mother not be private and child not
be invisible or private.
If the child is not visible - eg, was adopted out of the family, then
it is appropriate to make the child invisible and make the
relationship between the child and the mother private.
Does this make sense?

I have one male family member who had an illegitimate child who is alive.
But the mother later married someone in the family. I have now marked
mother and child as Invisible but it does mean that the later marriage to
someone else does not appear. It's not crucial but just shows how
relationships can get quite complicated!
