Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

The rights to custody for an unmarried father of a couples new baby.

I hsve recently been blessed with a baby girl. Me and the mother are not quite working out, and I am scared that she will leave. I was wondering what rights an unmarried father had to custody, visitation, any advise you could give I would greatly appreciate.
