Of course not. It is inside a woman's body. No one apart from the mother can obtain "custody" of a fetus. Custody battles must wait until the child has been born.Of course not.

no, she has sole custody, and the father has nothing. see link below
Potentially yes, especially if the woman is living with or receiving documented financial assistance from her parents. The courts consider all sources of income as well as the child's living environment when making the decision regarding who is awarded custody.
yes...if the father has custody of the child or children then a woman has to pay child support just like a man.
There is no actual "custody" before a baby is born. It's not necessary- it is inside of and part of its mother's body. Generally, custody issues cannot be raised until after the child is born.However, if a pregnant woman is found to be doing something that is endangering her fetus (drug abuse for example), the state can place her in protective custody until the child is born.There is no actual "custody" before a baby is born.

YES, a woman can file for child support and not address custody in the courts, but a man can not request visitation time without the subject of child support being addressed. All single mother have sole custody by default, in 49 states.
The law presumes that an unmarried woman has sole custody of a child born out of wedlock until/unless a court rules otherwise.
If she has full custody, then yes.
It would be highly unusual for a judge to grant sole custody in such a situation. She would have to be deemed an unfit parent by the court or consent to the custody arrangement.
A woman can lose custody for any number of reasons. Most (all?) states only consider the best interests of the child when considering which parent should receive custody.
No, a man does not always get custody. If one of the people in a marriage has an affair, it is usually the person not having an affair that gets custody of the child or children.For example, if the husband is having an affair, and the wife wants a divorce, the woman (wife) would get the custody of the child or children, and not the man (husband). This is the same vice versa, too.
No, this is illegal. Both parents must adhere to the custody schedule. If the father is entitled to visitation or partial custody, the mother cannot legally defy the schedule and refuse to let him see the child.
