What rights do you have as the unmarried mother of children who have their fathers surname?

If you were never married to the father then you have all the parental rights until the paternity of the father has been confirmed by DNA testing or by his signing the birth certificate. Once paternity has been established, you should petition the court for a child support order and a visitation schedule so that the father will be officially financially responsible for the support of the children and also care of the children. He could also petition for custody.
You should consult with an attorney in your jurisdiction who can review your situation and explain your rights and options. If you cannot afford one then inquire at the local family court to see if there is a legal advocate who could help you.
