If the couple are unmarried the birth mother is presumed to have full custodial rights to the child.. The assumed father is not automatically granted any rights to a child until paternity is established either by the signing of the birth certificate or affidavit of parentage or a paternity test. When parentage has been established the biological father can file a writ of habeas corpus for custoday or a petition for visitation rights; likewise the primary custodial parent can then petition for child support.

However, fathers may have the right to seek custody or visitation rights after the child is born, depending on the laws of the specific jurisdiction.
