I would have to say that would depend on what the Mom has done to have to worry about what that situation... The court will do what is in the best interest of the child. If the situation with Dad is better than the situation with Mom, then he has a chance.

When would one parent get sole custody of children?
If you are a father. You must prove the mother unfit, drugs, abuse, prison record, etc... IF you are a mother, depending on the state you live in they would allow soul custody because you are the mother. If the father is unfit and you live in Utah and/or California where they are for the father as well and want to do joint custody in most of those two states, the father must pretty much be unfit such as abuse, drugs and/or prison record for the mother to get full custody. That is pretty much when the only time I have known any parent to get full custody of their children.
Is it possible for a father that has a history of abuse and a felony on his record to gain any type of custody?
if its taken to court and the mother has a clean record she will most likely get custody of the child and if the father does not pay child support he has no rights at all..(im going though this same thing in court) about the only way he can is if he proves that the mother is unfit

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 and the hospital must make a record of all births. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must establish his paternity legally through the family court. A paternity test can be arranged and once paternity is established, the father can request visitations or custody. If the mother retains physical custody she can request that the court issue a child support order. If the father gets physical custody he can request a child support order.Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity.

Can a father with criminal record domestic violance charge to be exact have joint custody of his son?
Yes. It occurs more frequently than you might suspect. Usually the court tries to arrange a mutual acquaintance or family-member, agreeable to both parties, to ferry the child(ren) back and forth to and from the visitations. This way the two parties to the DV action never have to see each other and stay in compliance with the court order.

Does California automatically grant unwed mother sole custody of child?
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. If he doesn't sign the birth certificate then he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged 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.
