As an unwed mother, you have full custody rights over your child. If the father is not fulfilling his responsibilities, you can approach the court for child support under the relevant provisions of law. Additionally, you may seek legal action for harassment if the father continues to act irresponsibly. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
