I had a similar problem and the procedure I adopted was 1. Unlink the child from everyone. 2. Get to the child through the name list and make them the main person in the pedigree view. 3. Right-click the child and use "Add Mother" and then "Link to an existing Person". Then select the Mother.
This gives an new marriage for the mother, with no husband(or, strictly speaking, an unknown husband). There will be a marriage record but the father will show as unknown. You can then modify the marriage to say "this couple never married", if you want.
