It depends on the circumstances. Certainly, if the son goes to the dad's household, she may be liable for child support--but that is a decision to be made by the receiving parent and maybe a visit to court.
No. If the other parent has not had his/her parental rights taken away by the court, he/she is still responsible for providing financial support for the child(ren).
Sure. The father looses his right to have a vote in any kid related decisions, but can still have visitation and such.
Signing away one's parental rights or custody will not, in itself, relieve one of child support.
you could have it used against you in court if the biological father of your daughter still wants custody. he can claim you are unstable and unless you stay in a stable relationship with the man in question. but if he can prove he is in a more stable relationship he can claim that he can care for her better.
It depends on what state they lives in.How old the child is.The parent is still responsible until 18 in most states.Someone needs to contact the police to make sure the child don't end up on the street.
That's up to the judge. see link

If you live in the US... Children are not property and therefore cannot be 'willed'. You can state in your will who you would like to receive custody, but the court is not required to abide by it. For example, if Mom has custody of a child, she dies and her will states that she wants her sister to receive custody, but Dad wants custody...Dad gets custody, unless he can be proved unfit, because Dad has first legal right to custody (Mom's wishes don't change that).
They recently changed the laws of custody, No one parent has full custody UNLESS they see the other parent as unstable and unfit. If the parent you want to live with has been deemed unfit as a parent then it will have to be taken to court or you can contact certain child organizations to give you more details about how to leave your current home and return to the home of an "unfit parent" However if one parent obtained full custody of the child and the other parent was not deemed unfit as a parent, you may still live with them because of the recent change in custody laws, stating no one parent can have full or primary custody. (in other words, if your mom has full custody and your dad has none ((Also assuming the father hasn't been charged with being a drug addict, alcoholic, or financially unstable etc.)) you may live with the father)
Either parent can have physical custody in a joint custody arrangement. If there is a court order granting the mother physical custody the father should notify the court of the mother's incarceration and have that order modified unless he wants the mother to resume physical custody when she is released.
If the child resides with you, she must be on your policy, whether or not she owns a car. The additional car will go on the same policy, but she should pay the extra cost.
Father would have to consent to the adoption. Definitely worth petitioning for custody if you feel that you and your family can care for the child.
