When a child is born to a single mother before the courts
have determined and worked out custody, does the mother
automatically have guardianship over the child or does the
father (or both)?

If within this time before things have been worked out in
a court, could the father of the baby legally take the
baby without consent of the mother?

Does it make a difference in this matter if he signs the
birth certificate or not?

When is the time to start establishing custody within the
courts?

(If it matters what state I'm in, I'm in California.)
