FAQ
A single mother has the same right to both kinds of custody as any other mother or father, for that matter. Custody laws for unmarried parents are the same as custody laws for parents who have been married in the past. Single mother custody rights are the same as those of any other mother or father.
If a court order exists that gives both parents the right to be involved in their child's life, any actions to interfere with this right, including withholding the child from their other parent, are considered illegal and can be legally challenged.
Note: Florida law does not allow a parent with a child under the age of 18 to move or relocate unless (1) there is a written agreement from the other parent supporting the proposed move or (2) the judge approves the proposed move in a formal court order.
Under Florida law, the mother is the natural guardian of a child born outside of marriage. The mother will automatically have legal custody of the child in the event an unmarried couple separates.
Parental kidnapping differs from other forms of kidnapping because it involves a legal parent. A non-custodial parent can face steep legal consequences for removing a child from their primary residence without consent or court approval.
A new law went into effect on July 1, 2023. The law creates a revised procedure for unwed fathers to establish paternity, child support, and visitation. The result is that unwed fathers can now establish parental rights that were previously the exclusive domain of the mother.
The fact of the matter, however, is that Florida views the rights of a father to be equal to those of a mother once paternity has been established. Under Florida Statute 61.13(2)(c)(1), the Court is not permitted to show a preference for the father or the mother.
Under Florida law, unwed mothers are considered natural guardians of children at birth. This means the mother is the technical legal parent with legal rights to make all decisions regarding the child's welfare, education, medical care, or other aspects of the minor child's life.
Under Florida law, an unwed mother is the presumed guardian of minor children, and fathers do not have the same right of custody until a court orders it. Again, this is not to say they are wrong; a court can and may well order the mother to return the children to the state if the father filed for support.
In Florida, recent legislation in family law has allowed biological fathers to have equal rights as mothers, even if the child was born out of wedlock.
