If a child's mother has sole custody then the courts have decided this and there is a reason for it. Generally, if the mother is a good mother (fit mother) then the children will be looked after by her with the father having partial custody to see his children. If the father is unfit, then the mother would have full custody.
If you are the child asking the question and are upset because your mother has house rules and you don't always agree with them then this is not a good reason to want to live with your father. Your mother gives you these responsibilities so you will learn good characteristics that will make your life a whole lot simpler. You may not see that now, but will in the future.
If this is the father asking the question and you have partial custody the courts have deemed it this way for a reason. If the mother is unfit and the father wants to take full custody then you should retain a lawyer asking for full custody.

Probably not unless parental rights were terminated or otherwise limited. Best consult a lawyer.
She can terminate her parental rights, not yours.
He has to pay regardless of where the nother takes the child as a result of parental kidnapping.
If DNA confirms a man is child's father, the father will have a few decisions to make. The father can assume responsibility for the child and work together with the mother for the sake of the child, or the father can sign over his parental right to the mother, and choose to have no further contact with the child.
You would have to go to court for all that.
No she can not.
no
No. If you have been determined to be the child's biological father you and the mother will have equal parental rights if you remarry.
If the father terminates his parental rights the single mother can legally and solely have full custody of that child as long as the courts decide that she is capable of working and providing a safe environment for the child. There are times that the parents of the young mother, or possibly grandparents will help in looking after the child if the mother is a minor and finishing her education and the courts will often look favorably on this.
