You have just as many rights to the child as the mother does even if you are unwed. It is in your best interest to go through the court system and set up a custody agreement.

In New York state, a non-biological father can voluntarily give up his parental rights through a legal process called "adoption by estoppel." This allows a non-biological father who has acted as the child's father to relinquish his rights and responsibilities. However, it is recommended to consult with a family law attorney to navigate the specific circumstances of your situation.

Marriage by itself does not bring custody rights to non-biological children. Where the children go when the biological mother dies depends on who has custody, whether the non-biological father has adopted the child, whether the biological father wants the child, and on the laws of the state where all of this is happening.

What are the custodial rights of unwed mothers in the state of Tennessee?

In all U.S. states the biological unwed mother is considered to have sole legal and physical custody of her child. If the biological father wishes to assert his parental rights he must first establish paternity to the child in question and petition the court for visitation privileges or custodial rights. If the mother wishes to pursue child support for the minor child she must show proof of paternity (signed birth certificate, or notarized affidavit for the father). It is the responsibility of the alledged father to prove he is or is not the biological father of the child, regarding custody, visitation and/or obligation of financial support.
