Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Once paternity is established in court, the father can request visitations or custody through the court. 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.

What do you do if father will not let you see your child?
AnswerVisit your local family court and ask to speak with an advocate. The father has no legal right to keep the children from you unless you have been deemed unfit. Unwed mothers have custody until a custody order has been issued by the court once the father has established his paternity. Married parents have equal parental rights. The court will issue an order that addresses custody, visitation and child support as part of a divorce decree.

Can a father keep a child from a mother if there is no court order?
Neither parent should keep a child away from the other parent if there is no good reason. A good reason would be abuse, neglect, drug abuse, etc... If there are problems with custody and there are not court custody papers, there needs to be. Go to the court house and have the process started. Without these papers, either parent could keep the child (as long as the father is proven to be the father or his name is on the birth certificate) and it is not kidnapping. There is not court order preventing it. Also remember that the mother does not always automatically get full physical custody. The court looks at what is best for the child, not the parents.

How does joint custody affect child support in Georgia?
It depends on the type of joint custody. Custody is broken down into two subcategories- legal and physical. Legal custody is the ability to make decisions concerning the child and to act on the child's behalf. Physical custody is who the child lives with. Typically unless the child spends exactly 50 percent of the time with each parent, one parent is considered to have primary custody and the other parent to have secondary custody or visitation rights. Child support is based on who has primary physical custody, and that parent is typically awarded child support from the parent who has the child less since having the child more usually means that you provide for more of their needs as well.
