Only if she did not have parental rights when the man dies. Otherwise she automatically gets custody unlesss she is unfit.
It is assumed the couple was not married. In the United States an unmarried biological mother already has legal custody of her child unless her parental rights have been affected by a court order. If the child was living with the father, his family may petition for custody and in that case the mother should contact an attorney who specializes in custody issues or visit the family court and ask to speak with an advocate.
The father would be the favored person to get legal custody if the mother had custody and died unless he was found to be unfit to have custody.
In the United States when the custodial parent dies, the non-custodial parent automatically gains custody unless they've been deemed unfit.
I assume this to be an out of wedlock, extra marital affair child. Her husband.
Usually in such a case, the State becomes the child's guardian. The courts may award custody to the father after examining his fitness as a parent.
No. He should pay for at least half of the burial and funeral costs.
The father still owes any past-due (unpaid) support.
probally go to the God mother
he needs to file for custody
yes
Not without the permission of the child's biological mother. When a couple are not married and there is not a custodial order from the court, the law presumes that the mother has sole custody of the child in question.
If they are legally married, the father gets rights until mother gets out of prison, after that it is up to the state. If not legally married, they go into state custody.
He can still gain custody as the presumptive father.
The father must establish his paternity through the courts since he and the mother were not married. He can petition for full custody. He should consult with an attorney who specializes in custody issues. The mother's abandonment can certainly be used as evidence that the father should receive legal custody. He is providing the day to day care of the child.The father must establish his paternity through the courts since he and the mother were not married. He can petition for full custody.

Boyfriend or husband (unless he is the biological father) has no legal right to the child at all. The mother can try to go for full custody though.
No, unless the baby's biological father relenquishes his parental rights, he would get custody of the child if the mother dies, not her husband. The biological father must sign his rights away to the mother's husband.

Unless the biological father has relinquished custody, he can ask the court to grabt custody in case the mother dies or cannot take care of herself.
You have to be established, legally, as her biological father so if you have not done that do that first. Have DNA tests done if needed. Then you can apply for custody or visitation rights.
No. If your mother has sole legal custody she can consent to your getting married.

No, although most courts favor custody to the mother.
If you are not married the custody automatically falls on the mother and the father have to go to court to get visitation or custody. If you are married you have equal rights.
If the father and mother are not married, the father's name is not on the birth certificate, and there is no custody agreement in place, the mother may take the child out of state. Otherwise, there would be legal consequences.
Yes, she can. All she has to do is press suit to have custody awarded, or convince him to give her custody.
Yes the bilogical father will get the child .
No, if they are married they have equal custody.
