Mom. Dad must establish his paternity legally through a DNA test. Once established he can request visitation and custody rights and pay child support if the mother will retain physical custody.
Married parents have equal parental rights. They share legal custody.
Generally, if married he has custody rights equal to the mother unless she has brought a petition for sole custody in his absence. If he is not married his custody rights must be established by a court order.
The mother assumes automatic custody, unless she is unfit.
Being married or unmarried is not much of a determining factor when it comes to custody nowadays. In order to have custody changed you would need to prove that either your household and parenting abilities are substantially better than the other parent, or that their situation is detrimental to the children. Having a spouse does not necessarily mean that you are better able to care for the children, especially if the other parent has had custody for a significant length of time without the children having any problems in a single parent household.

* If the father has full custody of the children, yes. * If he has partial or shared custody with the mother, it may be a violation of parental rights; that area is quite dicey, so talk to a lawyer. * If the father has no custody but does have visiting rights, then again, talk to your lawyer. * If the father has no rights to the children, then there is no crime committed.

Entertainer Master P is not married as of June 2014. He recently lost custody of four of his children in a heated custody battle.
No. Custody must be granted by a court order unless the parents are married. If you are unmarried and want to give temporary custody of your children to your "fiance" it must be done through the court. You haven't mentioned whether the "fiance" is the father of the children.
See to that she gets temporary custody asap. They both have equal rights to the kids as long as they are married.
