If the other person files charges against the mother for assult, the mother could get arrested. If no one is there to take care of the child - the child will be put in foster care.
Even though the mother is underage she still has custody of her child as long as she does not do something to get custody taken away from her
yes, age has nothing to do with it.
Yes, she's still a minor. Having a child does not make someone an adult. When she turns 18, she will be a legal adult.
Yes, if that is ordered by the courts. In an Ohio case where a 14 year old boy got a 19 year old girl pregnant, his parents were ordered to pay support to the girlfriend.
If the child is underage, a marriage license should not have been issue without both signatures.

If you're in the US... You have no rights to have contact with the minor mother if her parents forbid it. You do have the right to petition the court for visitation with the child. Of course you also have the obligation of paying child support.
The context is California law
It depends on the legislation of the country. Normally the spouse and children take precedence. An under age child of the deceased would take precedence over the mother of the deceased.
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.
The state would only find out that the father of the child was an adult if the mother (underage girl) told somebody and they inturn called the state.
