Short answer is "no" but . . . .  If both parents are on the birth certificate, they have presumptive joint legal and joint physical custody.  That said, you have every right to be concerned if the father has a history of DUI, and you should take steps (i.e., get a protective court order in place) to protect the child. For background information, explanations, and links to the relevant statutes, see here and here.  You should consider consulting -- soon -- with a qualified family law specialist.
