If the parents are unmarried, the mother has custody of the child.

Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he can establish his paternity through a DNA test or by admitting his paternity through court. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity is established the parents are obligated to try to come to some arrangement for custody. The parties should try mediation and should be represented by attorneys if the proceeding is contentious. If they cannot come to any agreement the court will decide and will base its decision on the best interest of the child.
