What happens when the biological father is not on the birth certificate and has not seen the child in 3 years but now wants joint custody?

The father will need to furnish proof of paternity, most courts require that be done by DNA testing rather than blood typing. If the biological mother does not want to voluntarily submit to the testing she can be so ordered to do so by the court of jurisdiction. The court may request paternity established before a custody hearing convenes or it may be a part of the hearing itself, depending on state laws governing such issues.
