188. Parental rights are not the same as custody rights. Custody is determined
based on the best interests of the child. Anyway, I am speaking of the situation where the father fully accepts his responsibility to support the child - it is not likely that a judge will deny him parental rights - unless there is an abuse issue. And this is the same criteria that will be used in the case of the mother. If the support has to be gotten from the father kicking and screaming - of course that is not going to weigh well in his favor when it comes to his parental rights.
