Sounds like the odds are pretty good at gaining sole custody. However that does not mean that you will be able to keep the child away from his father forever, or mean that the father will never get a chance to see or interact with his child. The court will probably allow the father "visitation" rights.
No. A child is no one's property. An unmarried mother has sole custody until the father establishes his paternity in court. Once paternity is established the father can petition for custody and/or visitation and the court can prepare a child support order as necessary if the mother retains sole physical custody.No. A child is no one's property.

Sole custody means you have all the power. You can choose to keep the father out of their life until the children turn 18 if you want to or you can allow visits.
Yes a child can receive medical benefits if the mother has sole custody and the father dies. The state will provide the mother with assistance which will include medical benefits for the child. This can happen with or without the father passing on.
Generally, as an unmarried mother you already have sole custody of your child under the law in every state. The father must establish his paternity in court in order to obtain shared custody and visitation rights. Until he does, you have sole legal custody.
Yes
Yes, but the father must be notified of the proceeding.
Under most circumstances, the father must grant permission.
If you have sole custody no. However, can you still provide for the child? School etc? If she wants to prevent it then let her go to court.
Sole custodial rights are only granted to the parent with whom the child will reside.
no, she must approve
no, she has sole custody, and the father has nothing. see link below
