A: You have parental rights. You have the right to custody and/or visitation. If you want those rights adjudicated; i.e. to get a court order, you will need to file a parentage action (aka paternity) and request child custody orders and support. As a co-habitant, you do not have the same rights as you would as a spouse. i.e. you are not entitled to spousal support. If you are not on the lease for the home or not a co-owner or owner, you don't have rights there either.
