OK, this is me from home now. I had meant Chaste or Celibate (however one defines it!!!!) to mean the paladin refraining from any sexual intercourse whatsoever.
And, I had not meant for the paladin to be a philandering fop who fathers more out of wedlock children with different women than your typical NBA star or Ben Franklin...
As for rearing children, in many cultures (China, India, Korea to name a few, none of which are out of the way or obscure historically) it is tradition that the parents send the child off to be raised by the grandparents while the parents go out & work. It's just that instead of being raised a few towns over or on a neighboring farm, the paladin may travel across continents or planes hunting evildoers. Or, maybe the paladin's church has the equivalent of a nursemaid / nanny type that can raise the child?
Heck, it could even be part of the paladin sect - must return home at least once a year to attempt mating with wife in order to grow the congregation - almost like the Vulcan Pon Farr, only yearly.
