1.12 	there are no competing presumptions of paternity~~,~~ then:

1.16 	or permanent order is entered determining custody and parenting time.

1.18 	518 without an adjudication of parentage. ~~Until a temporary or permanent order is entered~~ 
1.19 	~~granting custody to another, the mother has sole custody.~~
