The mother until the father has gone to court to get his parental rights.

A step-parent has no legal rights regarding your child. The biological mother has visitation rights and other rights when the child is in her custody.
The law presumes that an unwed mother hold sole and exclusive custody of her child unless/until the court rules otherwise. She does not have to allow visitation rights to the father or the father's family, but neither can she seek child support until paternity has been established.
Not custody rights but you can have a chance to visitation. Speak to your lawyer.
Parents usually have to pay for their child even if it is the state that has custody. The child is taken away and parental rights terminated in order to protect the child. If you want your parental rights back and custody you will have to turn to the court.
