My sons father and I are not married and no longer together and I just wanted to know if he has just as much rights as i do in things like where i take our son to live if we move, do i really have to let him visit if he doesn't help take care of him? If he does have those rights, how could i go about getting full custody because he isn't capable right now of taking care of himself and i know he can't do for our son as he needs. His name is on his birth certificate and I hope that doesn't make a difference.

You need to see a lawyer to get it documented that you have full custody and make the decisions. This sort of thing might be requested by hospitals, schools, etc.
Until that time, I don't think that you need to worry too much, so don't stress over it. In order for him to stop you from doing something, he'd need a lawyer of his own. If he's not capable of taking care of himself, then the chances are pretty slim that he'd get it together enough to mount some sort of legal attack on you.

Unless this man who you created a life with, is an abuser, negligent, a criminal or a drug user, or something else that interferes with his ability to parent, you have no business cutting him out of his child's life. You are, as a mother, obligated to protect your child, but that also means helping him grow up with a male influence, preferably his father. Seems to me this guy was good enough for you to sleep with, and reproduce with, so unless there is some darn good reason why not, you do not have the right to separate them more than they are.
Otherwise, if you do have a good reason, then get a lawyer.

First of all the son lives with you so thats yo choice if you want to give him rights to see yall son if he aint doing nothing for the child why do he think he got as many rights as you i would tell him if you want to see him go file for joint custody because he is not doing noything for the child he would lose that case . i left my son father when my son was 4months he told me since wasnt together he didnt have to help me out so i kept my child away from him for 5 straight months and that hurted him bad but he learned his lesson and we ended up getting back together and i dont think i was wrong for taking all his rights away men need to wake up and realize kids comes with alot of responsibilities and they aint no part time job theres more to taking care of a child so you keep on your track and stay strong as a woman until he start kicking in and helping you out in all ways

Each state has different laws about this. You must see a lawyer. If you can not afford one, check with legal aid for the poor and one will be appointed too you.

There are laws and custody courts that have to settle every question you have and they depend on where you live, what state I mean, and they tell you what you have to do, otherwise he has just as much rights as you.
