Custody is determined by the courts.
No. If the child's' mother calls the police you could loss custody of your child and possible go to jail. If I was you I would contact a lawyer who specializes in child custody cases. If you can get a notarized letter from the mother saying it is okay and giving you full custody.
yes
YES! But it depends on the school. As some schools like religious schools are very strict. Public schools should be okay with the notarized custody papers. However, both parents should be a part of the child life. Check with your school. Don't hesitate to ask questions. Things become so much easier.
Yes
It would not be custody, it would be guardianship. This would only require a notarized letter granting guardianship and a Power of Attorney as regards the children. Also, an agreement to pay child support.
Generally, the mother gets custody in Tennessee. Unless there are some horrible, provable reasons that the mother is unfit to have custody. I have been through this very situation myself. Tennessee is a Mother's Rights state.
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.

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.
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.
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.
