Residence order

Hey there mums!
I'm a unmarried mother me and my ex were only together for a short while then broke up very soon after I got pregnant.
Things are not ideal between us at the moment I am just wondering if as a unmarried mother I automatically have residence of my child?
I wonder this for if the dad ever tried to go for residence I wondered if I would need to go for it too. He will be offered visitation from me once she's born so I will not be stopping that.
I'm still pregnant currently this is just for future reference.
Thank you all!!

If your boyfriend is not on the childs birth certificate you have full paretal responsibility and residnce of your child.
If he is on the birth certificate then your boyfriend has joint parental responsibility for your child.
