In Mississippi, when a couple who is not married has a child together, the mother automatically has sole custody of the child. The father can only claim those rights that he asserts. If the childs father would like to have shared custody of the child, he must establish paternity.
If the court rules the man as the father, he is the biological and legal father. With the legal designation comes certain rights and responsibilities. He may sue for custody or visitation rights, but he may also be responsible for child support. The court may also declare the child as the fathers legal heir.
An acknowledgment of paternity, also called a paternity affidavit, is a legally binding way to establish the parentage of a child. Both parents are asked to sign the document, which legally attests that the person named as the father on the form is the childs only possible father.
Mississippi law presumes that a child born to a husband and wife is the natural offspring of the couple. Paternity is presumed until proven otherwise in court.
Birth certificates, emails, text messages, and other written communications can serve as evidence. For instance, if the alleged father has acknowledged paternity in writing, this can be a strong piece of evidence. Financial records showing support for the child can also bolster your case.
