Does the father of the child get custody if his name is on the birth certificate?
If the parents are unmarried, simply being the name on the birth certificate doesn't bestow any custody rights. An unmarried father must establish his paternity in court and arrange for a custody hearing if he wants custody. 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 must establish his paternity by signing the birth certificate at the time of birth (waiving DNA testing rights) which must be done with mother's consent. If he signs the birth certificate he may still need to establish paternity through DNA testing. If he doesn't sign the birth certificate then he must establish his paternity through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity has been established the father can request visitations, joint custody, full custody or the court will set up a schedule of regular child support payments for the child if she is to remain in the custody of her mother. The court will schedule a hearing and issue an order that is in the best interest of the child.
The parents of a child are unmarried and the father's name is not on the birth certificate. The mother gave the child her last name. Does she have to change it to her father's last name?
NO. In most states the father of the child must be present at the time of birth to sign the birth certificate as the father of the child. It could, in reality, be any man who would be willing to take legal responsibility for the unborn child. A child will only automatically get the father's name if the two parents are married. Even if the father pays child support, the mother is not obigated to change the child's last name to that of the father.
In the state of Illinois are unmarried parents obligated to pay education support to their adult children?
This is entirely dependent on the child support ordered with the court. Typically unmarried parents are held to the same standard as divorced parents, and if it is determined that the parent is able to contribute to the child's education expenses or that the child's ability to obtain financial aid is hampered by the parents income, the parent may be asked to contribute.
How can a minor move out without emancipation?
In most cases, a minor cannot legally move out without parental consent or being emancipated by a court.
