Need for a right of paternity for fathers
From the birth of a child, the mother automatically has custody. This definition includes only one term in all the rights and obligations for the benefit of the child. Say you have an obligation to care for a child and to protect it. Likewise, it is the legitimate representative and administrator of the property of the child, until his age of majority. As a father has custody without objection only if you are married before the birth of the child's mother, or after the birth of the child marries. Otherwise, both parents must declare that they intend to fulfill the shared custody. Inclusion on the birth certificate or acknowledgment of paternity is sufficient, however, solely for the custody of, as this is to apply for themselves. Disconnect the parents, the child usually lives and lives only in a subset of parents. The child has the right regardless of the (access rights) to see his estranged parent and visit. This applies both to joint custody, as well as in a sole custody of one parent, with whom the child lives. Other way round also has the parent living separately own, enforceable visitation rights with the child.
Paternity needs rules
Normally, no one thinks of custody because the parents meet together daily decisions for their child. This includes permission for medical care of minors, the choice of school, which will visit the child in the event travel to apply for a passport, whether and which should receive religious education of a child where the child lives and as the opening of a account in the name of the child. More precisely, without custody could an unmarried father without a child visitation not even be from kindergarten, kindergarten, school, or pick up. If you like the partner in a marriage to live together, it is most logical to apply for custody of the child. Because the father had no legal rights more: In the case of an accident in which the mother would not be addressed and a decision regarding the child would have to be felled. Or if the mother would die of the child. In the latter could have been, however, to hold before the death of the desire of custody before his will.
Paternity demands a say
Therefore, the Federal Constitutional Court has strengthened the custody rights of unmarried fathers significantly. Mothers can now basically no longer reject the joint custody. Until there is a new regime for unmarried parents, family courts are awarded at the request of a parent, the joint custody. Or at the request of the father sole custody, they should negotiate when it serves the interests of the child. According to Douglas Wolf Sperger gets to half of all unpleasant cases before the court the child's mother has sole custody. Just in case any seventh-eighth at the end of the debate gets awarded the father sole custody. Can live with the likelihood that a child with his own father, is rather low, as is the case, it is assigned to an orphanage or a foster family.
