Can a mother have full custody if the father is not on the birth cert?

Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he can establish his paternity through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity is established in court, the father can request visitations or custody through the court. If the mother retains physical custody she can request that the court issue a child support order. If the father gets physical custody he can request a child support order.

∙ 14y agoHaving never been there for her is interpretive as there are father more fathers denied access to their children than those who refuse to be involved, according to the US Dept. of Health & Human Services study, "Survey of Absentee Parents".
Plus, which would one rather see, a child in the care of an abusive mother or uncaring father? The second may lead to an unloved child, but the first can lead to death, though not so much so with daughters.

∙ 11y ago- Yes, the mother can have full custody of the child if the father's name is not on the birth certificate and he has not paid any child support. However, if you just didn't want the father's name on the birth certificate at the time the baby was born, but received child support then you may have trouble getting full custody.

Single mother with sole legal and physical custody of child looking to move out of state what are the laws?
Visit or call your local family court to find out when you can speak to someone there. When I was considering moving out of state (I'm unmarried, my child's father is on the birth cert), I spoke with a liaison at our local courthouse who told me I was well within my rights to move anywhere in the country *until a judge says otherwise.* If a judge has granted full custody, you need not worry. If you have "assumed" custody (i.e., you were never married to the father and the matter has *not* been in court), or if there are pending family court issues I *definitely* recommend going to the courthouse and speaking with someone there.
My husband is not my daughters biological father yet his name is on her birth cert and we are now getting divorced What rights does he have to my daughter?
He would have all of the rights that a biological father has. If he was not the biological father, then his name should not have been put on the birth certificate in the first place, unless he adopted her and the birth certificate was changed.
