Does a father have legal rights to care for a child after 16 years of no support after the mother dies?

At 16 it is the childs' choice. The errant father certainly has no legal rights to the child. Laws pertaining to child custody are set by the state in which the minor and his/her custodial parent or legal guardian have established residency. Although a father has not been involved the child's life it does not automatically exclude him from filing a custody petition. Parental rights can only be terminated in two ways, voluntarily or by order of a court of jurisdiction. As long as the child is deemed a minor pursuant to the laws of the state of residency, age is not a factor. In most cases the judge presiding over a custody hearing would take into account the wishes of a sixteen years old.
