Unless there is a court order. The mother has presumed custody and full parental rights. For a father or non custodial parent to have ordered visitaton a court order must be obtained. Sometimes the court will require a paternity test also. If is an amicable relationship, then it is whatever you two agree to. REMEMBER, regardless of the mother and fathers relationship and how they feel about one another, the individual mother child and father child relationship is extremely important and NEVER use the child(ren) as a tool or weapon.
She has to be served. see links below
Signing away one's parental rights or custody will not, in itself, relieve one of child support.
Since the biological father did not sign the birth certificate, he has no legal rights to the child unless he wants to pursue them through means of a paternity test which he would have to pay for.
If the question is "how does a mother sign away her rights to a child before the child is born so that the father can be the primary parent?". The answer is, she can't. Mothers and fathers alike will have rights and responsibilities to their children unless the state determines them to be unfit and terminates their rights OR unless a step-parent decides they wish to adopt and papers are filed for the termination of the mother's or father's rights so that the step-mother or step-father can adopt instead. If the question regards a mother who does not want to be a primary parent to the child and a father who wants to be a primary parent (the parents are in agreement). There should be no problem transferring custody to the father with or without the court's involvement. Either parent may raise the child without interference from the court as long as the other parent agrees. However, mothers, like fathers, may be assessed for child support in this situation. In the eyes of the law, the child's best interest is what matters and if a mother does not want a relationship with her child, the court is still going to hold her responsible, financially, for that child. Also, if the child wants to seek a relationship with the mother, the court would want the child to be able to know the mother and find the mother. Only in the case of adoption either by a step-parent or by another couple will the court sever the rights of a mother or father. No action concerning custody, visitation, child support or any issues concerning the child can be or will be addressed by the court until the child is born and parentage is established.
Young mother of 15 chooses to live with her mother in New York, The mother is now in High School with very stable life and all the support for her baby from Mom Little brother and Step-Father. She is living in a house with her own room and her and her babys needs are all met. The Missssippi court says they have rights and wants the mother to live with her Biological Father who doesn't have a Job, is doing drugs and doesn't have a place to live. The Father doesn't even have a job. When she was with her father she wasn't going to school, the baby wasn't seeing the doctor or getting her shots. It was terrible, We spent over $1700.00 been to 3 court rooms and haven't seen a judge yet. The one making the ruling is a friend of the biological father and seems to be ruling in the fathers favor. What rights does the young mother have?

I'm not familiar with Florida law but I'm sure the mother could keep the child in such a case.
answer is simple. GET A LAWYER
It is very rare that a Mother wants to give full custody of a child to the Father. To this all a Mother would have to do is choose to sign and give up her rights to the child in court.
No, mothers have 100% control. Only a mother can give up her rights with interference.
If the father wants to be involved in the child's life, the mother cannot legally stop him on her own. Only a judge may determine if the father is unfit to be a parent, but even then the court may still order visitations. If you believe that the child is in immediate danger from the father, call the police.
Yes,the dead beat is expected to pay up.
No but it is not easy to have it done, the judge wants good reasons for it. And he will still have to pay child support.
Yes the mother can because its like she have rights anyway. Because she get up clean,change,feed,bath ect all those things but she have to do what she have to do protect her child
No. The biological father have rights. Unless the court find him unfit to have custody then there might be a chance.

nope. if the father is indeed the biological father then he has rights that can not be taken away unless he willingly gives it up by sighning off his rights or it is cort ordered. but in no way can the mother of a child regardless of the age of the child keep the father from seeing his son/and of daughter.
