All of them particularly if the father has signed the birth certificate or has otherwise been legally deemed as the father.

'

The law has become gender-neutral in areas of child custody and the father has as many rights as the mother when it comes to custody. Ultimately, it comes down to the decision of the judge who would be better suited to act in the best interests of the child and custody is awarded based on the same.

The mother has presumptive initial custody in some states, particularly if the father's name is not on the birth certificate or paternity is otherwise legitimized/established until custody is mandated by the courts.

What are the child custody laws in NC for unmarried parents?

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 or he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done through a DNA. He can then establish his paternity legally through the court and once established the father can request visitations, custody and set up a schedule of regular child support payments for the child.Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity.

What are the odds of a mother losing custody in Georgia?

Your odds are just as good as anyone else's. There is a new trend of family courts taking children from mothers and giving them to fathers. If you make any kind of alleghation against the father, the courts will say you are trying to alienate the father and give custody to him. If you don't accuse him of anything, they will say that he is a good father and give custody to him. Fathers who actually fight for custody win 80% of the time. Don't believe the hype. If you fight him, you will probably lose.
