When custodial rights and/or visitation has not been legally established, the decision belongs to the parent who has primary physical custody of the child. If the couple are not married, the mother retains the legal right to make all decisions regarding the child (except support) until a court decides otherwise.
Yes. Just because you're not married doesn't mean you're not the child's father, and it's on that basis that child support is ordered. * Additionally, both parents are equally responsible for supporting their child/children. Courts no longer grant custodial rights to the mother simply because she is "the mother". However, the law presumes that an unmarried woman retains sole custody to a child until a court rules otherwise. The father must establish parentage before the court will consider child support, custodial, visitation or other issues

If representing oneself the custodial parent/legal guardian should file the lawsuit in the appropriate court in the state in which you reside. Include in the filing a request for a subpoena of discovery to be served on the non custodial parent. This will require he or she (or their legal representative) to appear before the court and present valid documents providing their source(s) of income and the total amounts. If the non custodial parent does not comply to the order he or she can be (and probably will be) held in contempt of a court order. If the custodial parent or legal guardian retains an attorney he or she will take the appropriate action to obtain the information concerning the self-employed non custodial parent's income and assets.

If it is an element, then the smallest particle that retains the characteristics of the element is an atom. If it is a diatomic element, then the smallest particle that retains the characteristics of the element is a molecule. If it is a molecular compound, then the smallest particle that retains the characteristics of the compound is a molecule. If it is an ionic compound, the smallest particle that retains characteristics of the compound is a formula unit.
Until a child turns the legal age of eighteen, the parent retains full custody and rights unless otherwise mandated by the courts.
