In the state of Illinois, a biological father cannot give up his rights to the mother, but he can sign over his rights to another male. For example, a step father
Typically yes, but that may vary state to state.
The answer depends on the state where you live, but generally not. Most fathers, particilarly if not married to the mother, have fewer rights.
Yes. An unmarried mother has sole custody of her child until the father establishes his paternity legally and then petitions for custodial rights. Once the father has established his parental rights legally, the mother cannot move to another state without his consent and/or the court's permission since the move would mean the father's visitation rights would be affected.Yes.

In every state except Arizona the mother has sole custody of the child and the father has no assumed rights until granted them by the courts.
If they are legally married, the father gets rights until mother gets out of prison, after that it is up to the state. If not legally married, they go into state custody.
Yes, until a court order has been issued granting rights to the father once the father has established his paternity.
Not sure what state you live in, but in Florida, the answer is YES as to your mother's assets. As her spouse upon death, the step-father has the rights. However, as to a sister or brother, your father will have the rights as to their assets if the step-father did not adopt them.
Married parents have equal parental rights. File an injunction to have the child returned to the state as soon as possible.
Depends not only on the state, but also each individual county.
As many rights as the mother wishes to allow until the father protects himself with court ordered visitation and decision making rights. In some states, the father may have certain intrinsic rights, but you would need to provide where you reside and the state (or country if outside the USA) where the child legally resides.
