what are my child custody rights as an unmarried mother?

  • Posted on October 15, 2010 at 4:22 pm

My daughter is almost 6 months old. Her father and I have never married and now are no longer together. He is a drug addict and I want to know what my rights are as her mother. Will full/sole custody default to me since I am her mother and she has been living with me from day one? I’m a bit scared that he will try to get some sort of visitation rights and I’m not comfortable with that because of his drug addiction. Can anyone tell me what my rights are?
