In Va Does mother automatically have legal custody of child when parents are not married?

In Virginia, when parents are not married, the mother automatically has legal custody of the child at birth. The father does not have legal rights until paternity is established, which can be done through a voluntary acknowledgment of paternity or a court order. However, the father can seek custody or visitation rights once paternity is confirmed. It's advisable for both parents to seek legal counsel to understand their rights and responsibilities.
