Yes.
Yes. The legal custody of a minor can only be affected or changed by a court order.
Yes, a judge can grant full custody to someone without a DNA test. Custody decisions are primarily based on the best interests of the child, which can include factors such as the child's emotional and physical needs, the relationship between the child and the caregiver, and the stability of the home environment. If the judge finds sufficient evidence or circumstances that support awarding custody to a non-biological parent, a DNA test may not be necessary. However, the specifics can vary by jurisdiction and individual case circumstances.
A child does not need to be abandoned by their mother for a father to be awarded full custody. If the father can demonstrate before a judge that the mother is unfit to parent, the judge can award him full custody of the child.
If custody has not yet been decided by the court the child can express his wishes but the judge is not required to follow them and the judge will make the final decision.If custody has not yet been decided by the court the child can express his wishes but the judge is not required to follow them and the judge will make the final decision.If custody has not yet been decided by the court the child can express his wishes but the judge is not required to follow them and the judge will make the final decision.If custody has not yet been decided by the court the child can express his wishes but the judge is not required to follow them and the judge will make the final decision.
most likely he will lose his rights til the judge decides what is best for the child.
I assume that the "ex-boyfriend" is also the father of the child. If you believe that he lied to gain custody, you can file a motion/petition for a custody re-hearing and be prepared to demonstrate that he lied, and that you are a 'fit' mother to have custody of the child.

That's up to the judge. see link
The judge can grant split custody of both parents live in the same school district as the child. However, the judge will take many things into consideration before he rules. An attorney can answer any questions you have about custody issues.
Your question is too broad. Generally a judge determines custody based on the facts in the particular case and the best interest of the child.
That is up to a judge.
Yes you may challenge custody order.
