A judge decides questions of custody on the basis of what is best for the child. If joint custody is awarded, it is because the judge thinks (rightly or wrongly) that the child will benefit by having contact with both parents. It is never about what the parents want, it is about what is good for the child.
So a judge would not grant joint custody just because the father wants it, but if the father wants it, a judge is more likely to grant it than if the father said "Eh, I don't care, let her have the little yard ape all to herself."
You petition the court. They are the ones who grant you all types of custody.
Courts do not grant parental rights, custody and restraining orders without evidence. They do not grant custody to a man who only "says" he's the father or to someone who is "presumed" to be the father. They establish paternity first. You should contact an attorney who can review your situation and explain your options.Courts do not grant parental rights, custody and restraining orders without evidence.

It would not be custody, it would be guardianship. This would only require a notarized letter granting guardianship and a Power of Attorney as regards the children. Also, an agreement to pay child support.
If you're in the US, you would have to petition the court for a change of custody. Rather the court would grant your petition or not, would depend on many factors.
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".

It depends on the laws of the specific jurisdiction. In many cases, if the mother dies, custody would typically go to the father as the surviving parent with joint legal custody. However, the court may still need to officially grant custody to the father. It's essential to consult with a family law attorney to understand the specific laws and requirements in your area.
