Which states do not automatically give sole custody to mothers?

All of them particularly if the father has signed the birth certificate or has otherwise been legally deemed as the father. ' The law has become gender-neutral in areas of child custody and the father has as many rights as the mother when it comes to custody. Ultimately, it comes down to the decision of the judge who would be better suited to act in the best interests of the child and custody is awarded based on the same. The mother has presumptive initial custody in some states, particularly if the father's name is not on the birth certificate or paternity is otherwise legitimized/established until custody is mandated by the courts.
