Family LawWhat are the custodial rights of parents who have not been married to eachother?Where the parties are not married, the mother is considered the custodial parent of the child until the father seeks to establish paternity in a court of law. A father does not have “rights” to custody and/ or visitation of his child until he has a court order that establishes him as the father. Being named on a birth certificate or having DNA testing is not enough to establish paternity. |
