dc.description.abstractDiscussion involves a state taking away an unwed father’s children without proper due process. The Court held that states must give notice to unwed fathers and conduct a hearing before taking custody away from the father. This decision increased the rights of unwed fathers though these rights are not yet on an equal par with married fathers.en_US
