How can a father gain custody rights to his children in the state of Kentucky?

If the parents are unmarried the father must establish his paternity legally. Once he has established his paternity he can petition for custody, visitation and a child support order can be established. Unless you can prove the mother is unfit to be a parent, it is really hard to take custody away from the mother in Kentucky. However, a father may be awarded joint custody or/and a visitation schedule. He should seek the help of an attorney who specializes in custody issues.

If you died would your son be taken away from his step father and step brother and returned to his biological father seeing as legally he is not my husband's baby or does marriage bring rights?
Marriage by itself does not bring custody rights to non-biological children. Where the children go when the biological mother dies depends on who has custody, whether the non-biological father has adopted the child, whether the biological father wants the child, and on the laws of the state where all of this is happening.

If you have custody awarded or appointed by the court, the father will have to go through the court to get custody. Usually, to reverse such an order, he would have to prove that being in your custody is detrimental to the children. There is shared custody. They have lived with the mother since the divorce four years ago. He has not paid any money for support. Mother has had children more than the 50% of time. Mothers attorney said that father has rights to custody since the mother works nights and they are with her new husband. Since he is blood father he can take custody of children! I find this hard to believe but have to face the fact that it maybe true. I find it a great disruption in their schedule and hard to see a judge changing it but could it happen?
