A lot of women think unwed fathers should have no rights. but, the little dears have no problem expecting him to pay, pay, pay. So, generally, under the concept "if you dig a pit you may fall into it" and "no taxation without representation" unwed fathers do have the right to petition the court for contact, usually called visitation.
Some judges try to get around this by one reason or another.
The general rule is, if you are taking his money, don't whine if he gets visitation.
In some states, this does involve a custody ruling. For example, when I still lived in Iowa, the father got what was called, rats, I forget the legal name!
Oh, yeah, It involves the title of joint custody, with one parent, usually the mom, having primary physical care.
Frankly, as a practical matter, it is pretty much the same as the old system, where mommy gets sole custody. EXCEPT dad has the right to see school and medical records, mommy can't stop him unless she proves he is so unfit he should lose all parental rights.
I was involved in the mid-80's in getting the schools to comply with state law on this, in the Cedar Rapids area. I worked with a dad to teach some doctors the same law. These dorks thought mommy controlled all this. Not so in Iowa.
As I said, it goes with the check most of you receive.

It depends on the circumstances, but basically it doesnt matter if you were married or not. Custody laws are the same regardless of weather it was a 10 year marriage or a 1 night stand. It depends on things like how involved the other parent has been in the child's life and if they are fit to take care of a child. The court will rule based on what's best for the child and they don't pay much attention to the relationship of the parents.

In Michigan you will could desire to get a lawyer and bypass contained in direction of the chum of the courtroom gadget. that's totally complicated to have a father's rights taken remote from right here. My sister's ex-boyfriend/father of my nephew has been in penal complex many situations for many drug/theft appropriate crimes. My sister (and the mum of his different son) nonetheless have not been waiting to revoke his parental rights. The jerk hasn't seen the two of his boys in a minimum of two, in all probability 3 years; nor does he pay baby help. The gadget in simple terms isn't honest for the baby or mom.

The father has both responsibilities and rights -by law. You don't
have to have shared custody. The father will have visitation rights and child support responsibilies.

IF ONE OF YOU goes through the courts for custody then yes you do unless the courts find one of the parents too unfit to care for the child even part time.

if the man is listed on the birth cert., and the mother files for it, then he is obligated to pay child support, but if there is no actual parental visitation custody papers with the court, then no she does NOT have to share custody....but if there is a court order...then YES.

This is my opinion, you shared a bed in order to make your child, your child shares you and it's fathers D.N.A., your child will have shared traits of the both of you, and imagine, all this occured and you and he weren't married, so I think it's safe to say that you should share coustody, unless it will destroy your child, and is unhealthy.

I am going to have a guess, and say that you are angry right now with the child's father.
Please Please don't keep the child from his father, unless he is a danger to the child.
It might just come back on you. I am sure that you have had legal advice on this matter.
