An unmarried father must establish his paternity 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 doesn't sign the birth certificate then he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done 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 or full custody. If the father desires a visitation schedule he can request that the court issue a visitation schedule. The court will also issue a child support order if the child is to remain in the custody of her mother. The court will schedule a hearing and issue orders that are in the best interest of the child.
A biological father has the right to sue for sole custody, shared custody, or visiting rights to the child; even if he was never married to the mother.
He may have to have genetic testing done to prove he is the father if this is at issue.
A biological father is entitled to full custody rights to the child regardless of his marital status withthe mother.
In the U.S., with the exception of Arizona, single fathers have no assumed rights until granted them by the courts. I believe Britain is similar, but your best option is to look up Fathers Rights groups there and contact them. They are the ones who camped out on top of the home of the Prime Minister.
No, you must establish your paternity legally in order to obtain parental rights such as visitation rights, custody rights and the right to support your child until they reach the age of majority. If you have established paternity by a DNA test, then you can petition the court for visitation.
This would depend on the Will. If not addressed, were the parents married? If not, the paternal grandparents have not claim as unmarried fathers have no assumed rights. Otherwise, if the parents were married, and no Will exist, than it would be a matter for the Probate court.
First, it should be noted that unmarried fathers do not have any presumed rights to sign away until grant them in the first place by the courts. Even in doing so if on has any such rights, it is not applicable to child support, so the obligation will continue.
Since you now have proof you are the father you can now petition for custody, visitation and pay child support. So very binding. Without it you have no paternal rights.
In a case of no will, the next of kin has priority. Unless there is a will, the unmarried partner will not have any rights.
This is an area not addressed in the statutes. Single fathers have no assumed rights. How this may apply if there's a divorce later on has not been addressed at this time. To the best of my knowledge, mothers or attorneys have not attempted to claim the father still has no rights.
