No. If you are not married the mother have custody automatically since birth. The only way for the father to get it is by proving paternity in court and he can then petition for custody, visitation and pay child support.

If not married the father have right to sign the birth certificate and prove paternity in court so he can petition for visitation, custody and also pay child support. So he have to go to court to get his rights while the mother does not since there are witnesses she is the mother. So yes, a father def have rights to his child. If the mother or another man sign the birth certificate he can go to court and change it providing a DNA test for proving paternity.

Department of economics takes you to court for childsupport what right do they have in who has custody of the child mother never married child's dad?
In cases like this the mother is always considered first for custody, unless for some reason she is not fit to handle her duty as a parent. They will then look into the fathers situation to see if he is fit. Now if the mother and father of the child were never married then the father does not have rights to that child unless he goes through a process called legitimation. Legitimation is just the father claiming the child in a court of law which would then give the father rights to that child and the child can inhereit from the father. You do not have to go through legitimation if the parents were married. Hope this helps.
