Not if there is a court order for visitation or shared custody. She would then need your permission and the courts.
No
It is very rare that a Mother wants to give full custody of a child to the Father. To this all a Mother would have to do is choose to sign and give up her rights to the child in court.
This varies from state to state. You should call an adoption agency or adoption attorney in the state where the child resides.
The mother should notify family services.
Father must petition for custody and court will weigh what situation is best for the child
If there is joint custody of the child then the father should be told by the mother where she is going with the child and for how long. If the mother wants to live in another State the courts will have to decide visitation rights. Example: The father has may have the child one or two weeks during the summer; possibly Christmas or alternative Christmas', etc. If the father does not have joint custody then the mother can leave with the child to another State without his permission, but to be fair to the child the father should be informed unless the father has a criminal record; drugs, etc., and is an unfit father.
No. If the mother is unmarried then she has legal custody of her child automatically. If the father wants parental rights he must establish his paternity in court.No. If the mother is unmarried then she has legal custody of her child automatically.

Yes. see linksAns 2.The father has the option to waive his rights if he wants to, and if he can convince the judge that he is sane, sober and not under coercion as he does so.This has nothing at all to do with child support, which is not his right, but his responsibility. In general the mother can't waive child support either, because support is her child's right, not hers.THAT IS CORRECT.....unless the child's mother has re-married and her husband wants to adopt this child, that would release the biological father from paying child support.
If the son wants to I believe he can. In my state (Georgia) the child can choose who he/she wants to live with at the age of 14.
do a mixed name then!
Mother files motion for custody
Once a child is in state custody I don't think the mother has a say in who adopts the child. However, you may be allowed to meet the adoptive parents.
