Question

if I had a child with a woman and we are no longer together and we weren't married who gets custody without going to court? also if she withholds him from me is that illegal?



Answer

When a child is born to parents who are not married, the mother is considered to have sole custody of the child. If the father wants time-sharing with the child, he will need to go to court to legally establish his paternity. Once that has been done, the court can order a Parenting Plan that includes time-sharing for both parents with the child.
