Contact the office of the clerk of the probate court in the county in which you reside for the forms and procedures for filing a voluntary relinquishment of parental rights.
Most states will not allow relinquishment of parental rights unless there is someone else willing to take over (adoption). I recently completed a step-parent adoption, and researched this thoroughly. States consider it detrimental, pairing it with "Best Interests of the Child".
With the above set of circumstances - you will be given the opportunity to plead your case for custody before a judge.
The guidelines are basically the same in every state but obviously there are a few minor differences. Joint custody consists of Primary Custody & Secondary Custody. The parent with primary custody is who the child lives with & the other parent has secondary custody. Depending on the age of the child & the state in which they reside, the court may let them determine where they choose to live. Or if both parents agree on the child's decision then the child can live with either parent.
A parent can only give a friend or relative temporary custody of a child (meaning three months or less). If one wishes to have someone take full permanent custody of their child, the parent needs to relinquish custodial rights and the accepting adult needs to apply for legal guardianship through prescribed legal methods. The other option is obviously relinquishing parental rights so the child can be adopted. The legal process is quite different however if the child is not a U.S. citizen.
They recently changed the laws of custody, No one parent has full custody UNLESS they see the other parent as unstable and unfit. If the parent you want to live with has been deemed unfit as a parent then it will have to be taken to court or you can contact certain child organizations to give you more details about how to leave your current home and return to the home of an "unfit parent" However if one parent obtained full custody of the child and the other parent was not deemed unfit as a parent, you may still live with them because of the recent change in custody laws, stating no one parent can have full or primary custody. (in other words, if your mom has full custody and your dad has none ((Also assuming the father hasn't been charged with being a drug addict, alcoholic, or financially unstable etc.)) you may live with the father)
If both of the parents have a joint legal custody arrangement, you have to give the noncustodial parent that information. If you have sole custody of the child, you do not have to share that information with the noncustodial parent.
I believe not.
Only with approval of the court. see my profile

You may since sole custody implies the child lives with that parent 100% of the time. With joint custody the child may dwell with the other parent for part of the time or with one parent all of the time with visitations for the other parent. It depends on the details and the state child support guidelines.
Not really. Child support is for the care of the child and should be disbursed to the person with legal custody. In other words, you can't have your cake and eat it too.
Yes.
Not if you do not have legal physical custody. The school would not have any right to release the child to you if the other parent has sole physical custody.Not if you do not have legal physical custody.

Custody should change to the other parent
The court would have to modify the custody order. You need to discuss it with your custodial parent.
no, even if you have sole custody
If they are the child's legal parent yes. The only way that they might be unresponsible is if the other parent had sole physical and legal custody. If they have joint custody but the child lives most of the time with the other parent they are still responsible.
Generally, the parent with the greater amount of physical custody is entitled to child support.
