The mother can legally retain sole custody of the child until the father establishes paternity and files for custodial rights. This is an issue that is covered by "common law" and would apply regardless of the resident status of the mother. If the father chooses to petition for custody, the issue would be decided by the court based upon what would be best for the child.
