My fiance's custody battle

Would it help my fiance get joint custody if we were married? They were not married when child was born?
The mother does everything in her power to keep any information from us. He has visitation already. She breaks court order regularly.
We are engaged. Would it help his case if we were a legally married and stood as a united front?
The child is 5 and we've been together since she was 1.
We need everything we can to use in this case.

Your marital status has no bearing on your your male friend's custody matters, just he has no impact on yours, if you had one.

That said, if either of you were convicted child molesters, that would tend to have a negative impact on the other.

That's not the case, so get married if you wish, but don't expect that to have any legal impact on his child custody case or yours.
