DOES AN UNMARRIED WOMAN AUTOMATICALLY HAVE FULL CHILD CUSTODY?

QUESTION: My son's father and I are not married, but my son and I are not living with him due to his habits. Do I have full custody of my son if we haven’t gone to court?

MY RESPONSE: As your son's mother (whose parentage cannot be denied), you do have de facto full custody rights, living with your son apart from his father. The father may be able, however, to assert and receive parental rights in a Paternity case.
