Does the unmarried mother still have custody of a child if that child has the fathers last name?

If you live in the US... The child having the father's last name has NOTHING to do with custody. If Dad is listed on the birth certificate as the father, then both parents have equal custodial rights until a court declares otherwise--you need a custody order. If Dad is not listed on the birth certificate, it will be a simple thing for him to petition the court to establish paternity and once that's done he can then petition for custody/visitation.

Does a unwed mother have custody of a child if the father is on birth certificate?

The unmarried father must file a petition in the family court to establish his parental rights legally. Once established, he can request visitation rights or custody through the family court. If the mother retains custody he will be granted a visitation schedule and will also be subject to a child support order.By not establishing his parental rights legally at the time of birth, the unmarried mother has freedom of movement. Once she moves with the child to another state it will be much more difficult and costly for the father to pursue his parental rights.
