You, because you are the mother of the child. Unless you got the baby taken away form you and someone else has custody of him/her.
A step-parent has no legal rights regarding your child. The biological mother has visitation rights and other rights when the child is in her custody.
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.
What is the time line for child abandonment for a non custodial parent? My husband was given temporary full custody of a three year old and five year old in December 2008. The mother was only allowed to have supervised visitation. She maintained off and on contact until May 2009. She has not called or made any attempt to contact the girls since May. How long do we have to wait to file abandonment?
12 years old
12 years old

When they are 18 years old.
sole custody
It depends on the state and how old the child is.
You can request anything you'd like, but no court is going to grant you support for a child that you do not have legal custody of.
As he's 19, they do not.
Yes, as long as the legal custody schedule is changed, child support can also be adjusted.
If the father has legal custody the child should live with him. What does the custody agreement say?
Condoms are cheaper than babies.think twice about it You should NOT be having sex...PERIOD...and seeing that you are only 12 years old you would not be able to have legal custody of that child (you are only a child yourself)
If you are a parent of a child, then you would provide support for the child, even if you do not have custody.
