The time frame should have been stated by the judge when custody was awarded.
If you're the father
You would need approval to return to the country to file a challenge.
The name given the child does not affect custody. The court looks at the ability of the parent to provide a stable environment with the means to support the child.
If you live in the US... The father's parents have no rights to custody at all. The father has the right to petition for custody, but he won't be given sole custody unless he can prove the mother unfit. He might, however, be given joint custody.
Yes, if the father is not given custody he will be obligated to keep paying support to whomever the court awards custody or guardianship of the children.
The rights of the natural father depends on if the father has given up his rights or not. If he has not given up his rights, he has the same rights as the mother, or as outlines in the custody order.
The child support is an order given by a judge in a custody settlement. It has nothing to do with bankruptcy. You are still responsible financially for a child you help to bring into this world.
It is highly unlikely that a grandmother would be given custody just because the father lives out of state. If there are other factors such as abuse by the father then, possibly, but not certainly. The court would look at the case carefully and decide what is best for the child
He should the moment the order is signed as the mother may bolt. see link

No. The father must be informed and given the opportunity to object.
Why are there two orders? Which was filed first? Where do the children live?
