He can file an injunction, as he should. Then, he must take the necessary steps to establish his paternity legally in order to obtain his parental rights.
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 establish his paternity by signing the birth certificate at the time of birth (waiving DNA testing rights) which must be done with mother's consent or he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done through a DNA. He can then establish his paternity legally through the court and once established the father can request visitations, custody and set up a schedule of regular child support payments for the child.
On the other hand, if a court already has jurisdiction over the case, and if there is a visitation order already in effect, the mother must allow the child to visit with the father according to that schedule. Withholding visits with the non-custodial parent can eventually result in the custodial parent losing custody if the other parent presses the issue in court. She can move without approval as long as it doesn't impact visitations. She cannot move far enough away to interfere with established visitation without the father's consent and the court's approval. Unfortunately, courts are notoriously lax in enforcing visitation rights for fathers - so much so that most mothers do not realize they are supposed to get approval before making such a move and most fathers run out of money pursuing their visitation rights without getting their visitation rights enforced when a mother moves without prior approval.
yes - the mother can file suit against father to petition for custody of the child. The mother will have to prove that there has a substantial change and the circumstances have change such that it will be detrimental to the child's welfare to remain with the father.
Paternity would have to be established first. The father could then get custody and child support from the mother; she does not need to relinquish her parental rights for this.
But, if this involves aborting her rights by dropping the child at an ER or with family services, his chances of getting the child is about 15%, while still being required to pay child support and having little to no visitation rights. Often the child is place in foster care over 100 miles away.

Depends on reason for the lose of them.
An unmarried father cannot "choose" to not pay child support. The laws in every state require that a father pay for the support of his child. The mother must bring an action to the appropriate court so that a child support order can be established. Visitation rights are separate and a father can have visitation rights established by the court. Visitation rights are not dependent on paying child support.
In the United States the father has no rights until the child is born.
Paying child support will not cause the father to lose his parental rights - neither will not paying child support.
If a father finds out he is the biological father of a child, he has as many rights to the child as the mother does. He can take the mother to court for custody or to set up a parenting plan.
the bio-father still has more rights as obvisouly he is the true father
If he is not the father of the child, he has no rights to sign over.
If you have custody and the father keeps the child with him without your permission you can call the police for kidnapping.

He absolutely cannot. The mother can call the police and they can take the child back. Most likely will he loose visitation rights if he does this or it will be supervised or in the mothers home.

no
The right to petition the courts for the right to see and support his child.
what is going to happen when i give up my right as a father? will i still have to pay child support?
Paying child support will not cause the father to lose his parental rights - neither will not paying child support.
Terminating parental rights does not mean you are no longer obligated to support the child so you still have to pay child support. Unless the child is adopted. You will have no rights to the child at all if you have your rights terminated and the court will not give them back so be sure what you are doing.
Some times but it all depends on the situation
No. There is no requirement for the child to have to "know" the father for him to give up his parental rights.
