The courts will look at both parents evenly and assume that they both have an equal set of rights. The state of Michigan has set forth about a dozen custody factors to determine what is in the best interest of the child. In a marital situation, the court will go through those 12 factors to determine what is best for the child. In a non-marital situation, there is no presumption that the parents share equal rights, but instead the presumption is that the mother has more of the custodial rights.
Once paternity is established for the father to receive rights, the father will have to go to court instead of being at the mercy of the mother who can determine when he can see the child.
