A person's socio-economic status is not a principal factor in determining custody of a child.

Just because the baby is born in CA does not effect the father's rights or ability to seek custody.

A child could be separated from either parent based upon fitness and ability to care for the child as well as ability to share the child.

In custody issues, there really are way too many factors that the court will consider.

If the father has economic means to fight you then I would very much suggest that you find local experienced family law counsel to help you with this.

Good luck!
