You may need legal help to do this, particularly if you were unmarried and other family is raising it. You would need to have a steady job, no criminal or drug history to make a good case.
Answer & ClarificationYou should arrange a consultation immediately with an attorney who specializes in custody issues. The attorney can review your situation and explain your legal rights and options. A parent seeking full custody needs expert assistance from an attorney who knows the state laws and is familiar with the particular court system.
In this particular case the attorney could also help the father collect child support arrears.

If custody is not established then the mother has custody
