#ChooseGoldmanLaw

For unmarried parents, gaining full custody of a child presents unique challenges due to different legal presumptions than in marital unions. Unlike married couples, where both parents are presumed to share custody, non-marital unions often see the mother as the default custodial parent. However, this presumption can be contested, opening the door for fathers to seek custody.

*In non-marital unions, the mother is often presumed to be the custodial parent. *This presumption is rebuttable, allowing fathers to seek custody. *Establishing paternity is a crucial step for fathers in these cases. *The father must demonstrate that living with him is in the child's best interest. *Court hearings decide custody based on the child's welfare, not parental marital status.

To obtain full custody in a non-marital union, the unmarried parent must actively challenge existing presumptions. Establishing paternity and proving that custody with them is in the child's best interest are key steps. Ultimately, the court's decision will focus on the child's welfare, allowing unmarried parents a fair opportunity to gain custody. (248) 590-6600 Call/Text
