Do i as an unmarried father have the right to my child custody if the mother of the child has dead, as i am the paying support

The simple answer is yes. But, until your rights are legally established you don't really have any rights. As the mother died, you should be filing for custody of the child at the very least. You need to move forward, and you need to do it now. Do not delay, for delay will only make things worse. I can assist you, if you want. David R. Hartwig 801-486-1715
