Yes, it's so important to establish custody. Even when people think they are going to get along and everything will be fine they have terrible, emotional experiences at some point. Its better to be safe and have a legal document to protect yourself and your child, in my opinion. I've known so many people who thought they could make arrangements on their own but it turned out to be a disaster.It seems to play a role more often than not, sadly
Maybe something went wrong and the plans of getting married didn't work out. From what we know of their situation, they didn't seem to be the happy, loving couple planning a wedding in the future. Maybe one wanted it and the other changed their mind. They never lived together at all. Do we even know how long they were together before they had a child? I wonder if the plans to get married happened after the baby was born. Imo
