Each parent has an equal right to undivided custody until a court orders otherwise. Once parents split up, however, that right is meaningless since you can't both have custody at the same time once you split. So there are no rights until you go into court and get an order for how custody will be handled. The court will usually order what you agree to if you two can agree. Otherwise the court will order what it thinks is in the best interests of the child. Then your rights are what is said in the order.
