If you are and unmarried parent, and are seeking parental custody of your child or children, you will need to follow the same basic procedures used in divorce and separation cases. The biggest difference in filing for parental custody for unmarried parents is that you will not need to work on divorce proceedings at the same time. Before proceeding with a child custody case, you should determine what your current status is. Different situations require different methods. If you have been living with, but are not married to, your child's other parent; your case will proceed like a "regular" child custody dispute in most cases. You just won't need to deal with the added legal details of divorce and separation. If you have been absent from your child's life for a long time, the procedure is a little different. If you are a father seeking visitation or parental custody after a long absence, you may need to establish paternity before proceeding. A mother who has been absent will not need to prove maternity--there is usually little doubt as to who the mother of a child is.

This is fine for everyday life, but with no savings to fall back on or a credit card with an available balance, an unexpected event can turn everything upside down. Traditional loans often aren't a viable solution either because they either don't qualify, need a small amount of money than the minimum amount allowed, or don't have time for the approval.
