How Can I Protect My Rights as a Mother?
- Child Custody — As a mother, you have a legal right to seek child custody of your child in the case of a divorce or the end of a relationship with the child's father. You may be fighting for the right to have your child live with you, the right to make important decisions for the child's life, or both rights. These are referred to as physical custody and legal custody, respectively.
-
Visitation — You also have a right as a mother to seek visitation with your
child in the case that you and the child's father part ways. When you
have visitation set up, the child lives with the other parent but you
have given the right to spend time with your son or daughter on a regular
schedule. If the father of your child is not respecting the visitation
schedule, action can be taken to correct this problem.

- Right to Be Included in Adoption Decisions — As your child's birth mother, you generally have the right to decide whether or not your child can be put up for adoption. There are, however, certain scenarios in which a birth mother's parental rights might be terminated by the court, such as if the mother abandoned her child or was shown as being unfit to care for the child.
