These cases are fact dependent. It might be impossible to guess the best option in any one situation without knowing more than you could provide here. In general, one would file a petition to establish a custody and visitation Order. It might require that the couple GI through mediation, and that the father establish paternity. If this involves you, I advise u to consult directly with a family law attorney in your area.

Good luck
