Courts determine custody based on what is in the best interests of the children, and state laws typically cite a list of best interest factors that a judge must consider.

What is the law concerning child custody of children when married parents are not living together?

I assume you are asking if custody changes when a parent gets married to someone else? Custody does not change because of a marriage. If there is any type of court document (divorce decree, child support agreement, etc.) that outlines a custody arrangement nothing changes because one of the parties gets married. Whatever the arrangement was before the marriage, it still stands.

This would depend on that states Common Law Marriage rules I would presume. But I would venture to say, no he has no rights to that child at all. Now, in the case where they are married and she has a child out of wedlock, has all rights to expect to fight for custody of the daughter because of her infidelity.
