This is not a rule or law, just happens that more often the mother is found to be a more suitable parent than the father in custody cases.

If the father's name is on the birth certificate does that mean he has legal rights to keep my kids from me?

No. He will have to petition the court for shared custody. An unmarried father has no right to keep the children from their mother unless there is a court order to that effect. He has no personal legal authority to keep the children. In the absence of any order, if he takes the children and fails to return them to the mother she should call the police. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must establish his paternity legally. 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.

Why do mothers alienate children from fathers?

Many times a women alienate children from their fathers because they themselves do not wish to have contact with the father. Therefore; children get alienated due to an unintended consequence, but there are as many different answers to this questions as there are fathers alienated from their children. Unless there is abuse on the part of the man, the damage done to children who are alienated from their fathers is usually irreparable. It is extremely cruel to keep children from their fathers. Children need fathers as much as, and in some cases, more than children need their mothers. A father's positive influence cannot be bought for all the gold in Egypt. It is flat out child abuse for ANYONE to intentionally alienate children from their fathers. It can actually be a blessing for a mother to have a civil-productive relationship with the children's father. The mother can then have a much needed break from the children, financial support and the comfort of attending childrens activities without animosity. My sons father and I divorced when they were young and we got along beautifully while raising our children together and in close proximity. It was a positive influence that they witnessed their parents caring enough about THEM to get along with each other.
