Any biological parent can petition for custodial rights to a child. However, the law always presumes that the unmarried mother has sole custodial rights to a child unless the situation is such that the child is being abused or neglected. That being the case the court could terminate her parental rights thereby allowing the unmarried father to file for custody. Once child support is ordered it can only be rescinded or amended by the issuing court, an act that judges rarely allow. Minor children are the responsibility of both their parents regardless of the circumstanes and that is as it should be.

I am married but separated from my husband we have a 1 year old child and I have custody with no order What are your legal rights until you get a custody order you live in MN?

You now only have physical custody, but both you and your husband have equal custody rights to the child. That means he has a right to have physical custody too, and will not get into any trouble if he physically takes the child into his care. If you are afraid he might take the child, you will need to obtain a temporary custody order, signed by a judge, to make sure you become the custodial parent. That said, depending on your husband, the longer you have physical custody of the child, the more difficult it will be for your husband to obtain legal custody should you divorce.

Does the father still pay child support if the mother voluntarily gives custody to someone else?

No, if the mother voluntarily gives cutody to someone else, she can no longer be paid child support because she no longer has custody of the child. What happens now is the father can obtain custody because he does have rights or the person who has custody and have legal guardianship can file for assistance in which child support can be included or filed.

If you are not divorced from your husband can your can the husband get custody of the children?

If you are not divorced then both parents have equal rights regarding custody, decision making and control of the children. If a couple chooses to live apart one party must obtain a court order to get sole custody of the children. That party would need to convince the court the other parent is unfit and awarding sole custody to the moving party is in the best interest of the children. A husband would not be favored for sole custody simply on the basis of being a man. There must be extenuating and serious circumstances for the court to award custody to one parent. You should consult with an attorney in your jurisdiction who can review your situation and inform you of your rights.
