If you live in the US... He has the right to petition the court to establish paternity. Once that is done he can then petition for custody/visitation. Of course, he'll also be responsible for child support.

Im not divorced and your ex husband is not the father of the child whos name can go on the birth certificate?

The name of the actual father of the child should go on the birth certificate. If you are not legally divorced, then your legal husband would be automatically considered to be the child's father by law. If the child has a different father, he can complete a voluntary acknowledgement of the paternity of a child, in which he signs that he is the child's father and is therefore put on the birth certificate and named as the legal father. The hospital will help with this after the baby is born.

If the unwed mother has sole custody can the father be granted temporary custody?

Possibly. He must establish the parentage with the court before he can petition for any custodial rights. This means he must prove to the court that he is the biological father. In most instances a simple acknowledgement and/or his being named on the birth certificate will suffice. However, if the birth mother denies that the male is the biological father he will need to claim parental rights via paternity testing.
