If father signed affidavit of paternity does mother still have legal custody of minor child if never married?

Laws vary in different jurisdictions. Generally, an unmarried father who signed an affidavit of paternity has established his paternity and can file a custody case. If you were never married to the other parent of your child, and never signed an affidavit of paternity then you must establish paternity legally (by a DNA test) before you can start a custody case.

What are the fathers rights in georgia?

Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must establish his paternity by signing the birth certificate at the time of birth (waiving DNA testing rights) which must be done with mother's consent or he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done through a DNA. He can then establish his paternity legally through the court and once established the father can request visitations, custody and set up a schedule of regular child support payments for the child.

Can a parent whos not married take a child away from the other parent?

Perhaps if the parents are unmarried and the father has not established his paternity legally. In other cases, depending on the details, a parent cannot prevent the other parent from seeing the children without a court order to that effect. The answer can depend other factors such as who has custody, if the parents are married, divorced or never married, if there is an outstanding visitation order, if the parties are under the jurisdiction of a court, etc.
