A mother can legally refuse to put the fathers name on the birth certificate if they are not married at the time of the childs birth. This decision is typically up to the mother, as unmarried fathers are not automatically recognized as legal parents until paternity is established.
Unmarried mothers often have default custody of the child unless the father petitions the court. Unmarried fathers can seek custody or visitation by demonstrating their commitment to the childs well-being and showing that they can provide a safe, nurturing environment.
As long as there is no custody order or visitation schedule decided by a judge, yes he can. He has equal rights to the children as the mother does and the kids can live with him as much as they can the mother.
The Parentage or Filiation Petition may be filed by the mother, the alleged father, intended legal parent, the child or its guardian.
Paternity is a prerequisite to these parental rights. Once paternity is established, a father may pursue child custody and visitation rights. Many states offer simultaneous filing for paternity recognition and visitation and custody rights.

The law focuses on the childs best interests and seeks to create stable family structures, regardless of the marital status of the parents. As an unmarried parent, you have rights concerning custody, visitation, and child support, but you may need to establish certain things before exercising these rights.
If a parent withholds their child from the other parent in violation of any existing custody order, this may be considered parental alienation. This may lead to losing custody, being found in contempt or facing criminal charges.
