Unless you show cause that its in the best interest of the child not to see his father. For example if father has a violent record I doubt they will grant visitation. Also you can ask for monitored visitation.

Does Maryland automatically grant an unwed mother sole custody?
Yes. There really is no "grant". The mother of a child can always be determined since she gave birth. An unmarried mother has sole custody of her child until the father can establish his paternity legally. Once his paternity has been established he can request custody, a visitation schedule and child support will be addressed.Yes. There really is no "grant".

The fathers name is not on the birth certificate and he has not paid child support for 16 years. Does he have any right to the child?
If he can prove that he is the biological father of the child, he can seek custody or visitation rights, regardless of whether or not he is on the birth certificate or paying child support. In fact, if he is the biological father he can legally have his name added to the birth certificate. However, if he has not been around for 16 years, it is unlikely that a judge will grant anything more than visitation rights, and the child is old enough to have a say in whether or not they want visits from their father.
Can you make the court assign the father visitation rights?
As long as he has been established as the father and has not been deemed an unfit parent, the court will grant visitation rights.
Does a father have to pay child support when he did not know he had a child for over a year?
Techincally yes, but if he doesn't know that he has s childe then the court maybe will grant him partial child support in your case
How can my son get visition papers to see his kids in fl.Court said he can.The mother said no?
Need to file a petition for visitation. If the father is the biological father he has a right to visitation. There is no court that will not grant visitation to a father. Unless it is proved in court that the father is unfit. There has to be proof of that.
Does the father of your child have rights to see your daughter?
Once paternity is established, the father has the right to request visitation and the courts will ordinarily grant that right. Keep in mind that children are best raised by both parents.
Does the father of a child have to pay child support if he is not married to the mother and wants custodial rights in Idaho?
Yes. Just because you're not married doesn't mean you're not the child's father, and it's on that basis that child support is ordered. * Additionally, both parents are equally responsible for supporting their child/children. Courts no longer grant custodial rights to the mother simply because she is "the mother". However, the law presumes that an unmarried woman retains sole custody to a child until a court rules otherwise. The father must establish parentage before the court will consider child support, custodial, visitation or other issues
Does a father with primar physical cusody still have to pay child support?
Yes, until/unless the courts grant primary legal custody and terminate support.
If the father and Mother never married but the father does pay child support and his name is on the birth certificate and she is refusing visitation what are his rights?
He can, and should, file a petition with the Court to grant him visitation. Regardless of paying child support, he has the right to see his child unless he is deemed to be a danger to the child (sex offender, drug charges, violent crimes etc). If he is low income - usually double the poverty rate, so under abount $20,000 a year - your state's legal aid services can help him file for free or a few hundred dollars, income dependent. Google legal aid for your state. If not low income, get an attorney and have him/her ask, in the petition for visitation, that the mother pay the attorney fees and court costs. This is a no brainer and visitation will be granted (unless the danger factor is present - in which case don't bother filing until you clean up you life.)
Do you have to pay child support if the mother is in prison and the grand parents have the child and won't let you see the child?
Yes. But don't send the money to the grandparents - send it to the courts or the State disbursement unit. You may go to court to require the grandparents to grant visitation.
Would child support unit goes after the father for child support if you the mother receive energy assistant grant?
The mother needs to seek a child support order herself by filing a complaint in the local family court. The child support unit enforces child support orders issued by a family court.The child support unit can help the custodial parent in establishing and/or enforcing an order for support.
If the father of your children is in prison in Florida will the state pay child support and then your kids father pay it back when he gets out?
The state will not pay child support. The state may grant TANF and/or medical assistance to the child/custodial parent if they are indigent. If so, or at the CP's request, the state will attempt to collect the past-due support.
