That is up to the judge to decide. It might matter how long you have been using it and how many time you have slipped back into addiction earlier. It's all about how they can trust you.
yes
As far as i know, you can leave the child with a relative without letting anybody know, but if you leave them in the custody of a babysitter or anything, you must let somebody know, anybody.
Yes
As in taking the child away from the other parent? Perhaps
I think that an immigrant has the right to get custody of his or her child just like an American citizen.As long as they are fit and respondsible parents.
Yes, if the parents do not "keep" their child with them that implies they leave the child with someone else. That someone else could petition the court for a legal guardianship and gain legal custody of the child. That would be in the best interest of the child and the person with whom the child lives should have legal custody.Yes, if the parents do not "keep" their child with them that implies they leave the child with someone else.

You, because you are the mother of the child. Unless you got the baby taken away form you and someone else has custody of him/her.
If there is someone who has custody of a child and can no longer care for the child, they need to give the child to another family member. The local DHS office can help find family members to take care of the child.
If the mother has legal custody but leaves the state and doesn't have physical custody of your child then that must mean the child is with someone who doesn't have custody. I assume you are not married. In that case, you must establish your paternity in court and request legal and physical custody. If the mother has left the state without taking her child with her the court will certainly want to know who the child is with and will certainly consider awarding legal custody to the other biological parent, you.Perhaps you can convince the mother to consent to your getting legal and physical custody. If not sole custody, then joint legal and physical custody.You should consult with an attorneywho specializes in custody issues. The attorney can review your situation and explain your rights and options.
Custody is determined by the courts.
No, if the mother voluntarily gives cutody to someone else, she can no longer be paid child support because she no longer has custody of the child. What happens now is the father can obtain custody because he does have rights or the person who has custody and have legal guardianship can file for assistance in which child support can be included or filed.
Yes.
