Unmarried fathers often feel disadvantaged by the legal system, particularly when it comes to securing their parental rights. While many are required to pay child support, the government does not automatically ensure their right to be part of their children’s lives. Without a court order, an unmarried father has no legal right to see his child, and informal agreements with the mother may not be recognized by the court. To protect your rights as an unmarried father in California, it is crucial to establish legal paternity and seek a court order for custody and visitation.
