FAQ
If the parents aren't married — The mother has sole legal and physical custody of her child until a court orders otherwise.
Before the mother and the biological father can acknowledge parentage of the child, the mother and the mother's husband must sign a form called Affidavit of Non-Paternity which states that the mother and her husband agree that the husband is not the father of the child.
By law, when parents are not married, the mother has custody of their child unless a court orders otherwise. A father who has legally established paternity can ask a court to make a decision about custody and visitation. The court will decide what is best for the child. DOR does not handle custody issues.
An Affidavit of Cohabitation is a sworn statement attesting to the fact that two individuals have lived together as husband and wife for a specified period. It is a legal document typically executed under oath before a notary public.
If the parents aren't married — The mother has sole legal and physical custody of her child until a court orders otherwise.
If the parents were never married, and there is no custody order in place, the mother has sole legal and sole physical custody of the child unless a judge orders otherwise. Unlike most other states, this is true even if legal fatherhood (paternity) has been established by the father.
Even though you may feel that your partner is part of the family, the law does not. In Massachusetts, unmarried couples can obtain some of the same rights that married couples have by having a cohabitation agreement prepared.
Parentage means being the legal parent of a child. Parentage is automatically established if the parents are married when the child is born. The married couple are the child's legal parents. If the parents aren't married when the child is born, parentage needs to be established.
The Affidavit of Parentage is a legal document and constitutes a legal finding of paternity. No further legal action is required to establish paternity. The father's name will be placed on the child's birth certificate.
In general, it is not good and would reflect negatively on the custodial parent. It is quite possible that it could backfire and the roles of custodial parent be reversed. Unless the child's life is in danger, do not do it. Go through the courts and handle it legally.
