If a father signs an Acknowledgment of Paternity form does that mean the mother no longer has 100 custody of the child?

This is not legal advice. For legal advice pertinent to your situation you should consult a qualified attorney in your area.
Often, an acknowledgment of paternity is merely a formal recognition of the obligation to pay child support and nothing more. That is to say, signing that form brings no rights, only responsibilities. It should be said that you can still be held liable for child support even if you don't sign the AoP. You need to talk to a lawyer.
Although it varies from state to state, a right to custody and visitation is separate from an obligation to pay child support. You could conceivably pay child support for a child you have no rights to see. Hire an attorney.
Depending on the state, only certain circumstances can bring about a right to custody - for example being married to the mother at the time of birth. This varies from state to state. There are methods by which a father can be adjudicated as the parent, but they vary based on locale. A qualified attorney can help you sort that out.
The absolute best advice before signing anything you don't fully understand is to consult a qualified attorney.

What does it mean if a father signs his rights off on his child?
If it's court ordered, he has no right of access, or to petition for access. If this addresses single fathers, they have no rights of access, however they have a right to petition the courts for access. Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must seek other means of establishing his paternity and that is done through paternity test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court and once established the father can request visitations, custody and set up child support for the child.

Does the father still pay child support if the mother voluntarily gives custody to someone else?
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.
Does the mother have legal custody of the child?
Correct. Once a minor has a child, she is emancipated, meaning she is now considered an adult and independent of her parents. No, a mother who is a minor is presumed by law to have the same rights to her child as she would if she were an adult. Parents cannot force her to sign over custodial rights, have an abortion or place a child for adoption. If the she feels she is in need of assistance she can contact the state's department of family and children's services or Birthright 1-800-556-4900, http://www.birthright.org I don't think so

Court date coming up to determine paternity for a 9 year old boy if you are the father if you apply for custody will you still have to pay child support while going through custody battle?
You will probably have to pay child support until the decision is made and the court decides what to do. That means you pay until there is a court order saying you no longer pay. Court orders do not necessarily make sense but they are the law.
