Re: child custody
If he is your sons father, he need not be on the birth certificate to have parental rights.
Re: child custody
If there is an emergency hearing, then there has to be an Order setting that hearing, and that Order can also specify which parent has custody until that hearing. Simply because the father is not on the birth certificate does not mean that he isn't the father and/or that he doesn't have rights.
These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
