Custody rights are granted by a probate or family court order that grants the care, control, and maintenance of a child, to one or both parents following a following a divorce or separation proceeding or in the case of unmarried parents, when the father has established his paternity in court. An unmarried mother has custody of her child until the father has established his paternity in order to acquire parental rights. In another sense, a non-parent is sometimes granted a guardianship over a child and that person is said to have legal custody of the child. However, they are more accurately called the legal guardian. See related link.

You have full custody and legal guardianship. The father have to go to court to get his parental rights and petition for custody, visitation and pay child support.
AnswerNo. Only a court can grant custody rights or guardianship rights. The inmate cannot assign his parental rights to his own mother.
I think in all states unmarried mothers are elgible for child support. However they will want to establish the legal father of the child. This is called "paternity establishment." Paternity can be established in the following ways: • If a child is born to an unmarried mother, she and the man claimed to be the father can sign an "Affidavit of Parentage" to legally establish the father's rights and obligations. • The mother and the man claimed to be the father can ask a court to determine the legal father of the child. Genetic testing may be necessary to determine the biological father of a child.
You go to the courts or an attorney, and file for legal gardian of the child, with the mother and father's written permision. Then, you become the gardian. Or foster the child then adopt.
Take the child where?
yes

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.
