Parents of minor children are legally required to support said child/children regardless of the circumstances surrounding the matter. The biological father of the child in question must be financially responsible for his child according to the laws and ruling of the court of the state in which the child is a resident.

What are the fathers rights in georgia?
Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must establish his paternity by signing the birth certificate at the time of birth (waiving DNA testing rights) which must be done with mother's consent or he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done through a DNA. He can then establish his paternity legally through the court and once established the father can request visitations, custody and set up a schedule of regular child support payments for the child.

How does custody work in Iowa when the parents were never married?
Marriage is a significant factor regarding parental rights. A married man is presumed to be the biological father of any child born by his wife. Unmarried fathers don't automatically acquire parental rights unless they take certain steps to establish their paternity legally. The mother has sole custody until the father's paternity is established.In Iowa, paternity can be established by filing an Affidavit of Paternity with the State Registrar. Affidavits are available at the hospital where the child is born and will establish paternity once the affidavit is registered. The affidavit requires the consent of the mother. If the mother does not consent then paternity must be established in court by a DNA test. Once paternity is established the father can request joint custody and visitations.See related link.

How do you establish paternity without the father?
Uh... you don't. The only way paternity can be established or denied is by comparing the offspring to the parent. If there's a DNA match, you win the prize. If you don't have a parent, there's nothing to compare to. In other words, you can't just sample the offspring's blood and then say, "Whoops! Looks like ol' Ed's got another mouth to feed...." You need Ed.
