More details to this question:
Do I have to worry if someone wants to try and claim my daughter is his? I'm not asking for support and do not want any problems with someone coming out of the woodwork. My daughter has been given my last name.

For you to file for custody orders, you would need to know the name and address of the father and serve papers on the father. If there is no person that has ever established any paternity rights, then you probably do not need to have any custody orders at this time. You may have a problem getting a passport for the child if there is no father.
