WHAT CUSTODY RIGHTS DOES AN UNMARRIED FATHER HAVE?

QUESTION: My daughter is an unwed teen mother. She did not put the father's name on the birth certificate as he did not sign the acknowledgment of paternity form. They broke up several months' prior to the baby's birth. What rights would he have with the baby?

MY RESPONSE: The alleged father has essentially no rights unless he seeks and is awarded rights to the child by the Court in a Paternity case.
