Does an unmarried mother still have sole custody after father has been awarded visitation in Tennessee?
She needs to review the court order that established the visitations. The order should state the legal custody arrangement along with the visitation schedule. For example it could state, "The mother shall have sole legal custody and the father shall have the right to visitations with the child every other weekend and alternating holidays."

Can a father take a child across state line from Louisiana to Texas?
Generally, no. You haven't mentioned whether the parents are married or who has legal custody. Generally, one parent cannot remove the child from the other parent without a court order. If the parents are unmarried and there has been no custody order established then the mother has legal custody. Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must establish his paternity by signing the birth certificate at the time of birth (waiving DNA testing rights) which must be done with mother's consent. If he doesn't sign the birth certificate then he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity is established in court, the father can request visitations or custody through the court. If the mother retains physical custody she can request that the court issue a child support order. If the father gets physical custody he can request a child support order.

Perhaps if the parents are unmarried and the father has not established his paternity legally.

The answer can depend other factors such as who has custody, if the parents are married, divorced or never married, if there is an outstanding visitation order, if the parties are under the jurisdiction of a court, etc.

If neither parent has custody can the father take their child to live with him and it not be a crime so long as he files a parenting plan and one lives in Maine state?
It is assumed that the parents are unmarried and it is doubtful that neither parent has custody. In most jurisdictions in the United States an unmarried mother has legal custody of her child. Generally, the father must establish his paternity in family court and once established he can request custody and a visitation schedule. The court will also issue a child support order. The court will not terminate the mother's custody unless it deems her to be an unfit parent. Once paternity has been established neither parent can remove the child from the state without the consent of the other parent and the court. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in custody issues in your area who can review your situation and explain your rights and options under the law.

Also under consideration will be the suitability of either parent to have or obtain custody. Ultimately the courts should consider the welfare and comfort of the child, and so should the parents.

Can you get custody of your child if the mother leaves state and never has him?
If the mother has legal custody but leaves the state and doesn't have physical custody of your child then that must mean the child is with someone who doesn't have custody. I assume you are not married. In that case, you must establish your paternity in court and request legal and physical custody. If the mother has left the state without taking her child with her the court will certainly want to know who the child is with and will certainly consider awarding legal custody to the other biological parent, you.Perhaps you can convince the mother to consent to your getting legal and physical custody. If not sole custody, then joint legal and physical custody.You should consult with an attorneywho specializes in custody issues.

Is the parent who has filed for custody supposed to allow for visitation to the other parent?
The court will address visitation and child support when it considers the petition for custody. If there are no orders in place and the parents are married they both have parental rights including a right of visitation. If unmarried, the "other parent" need to have parental rights established which they will be during the aforementioned proceeding. Visitations should be allowed prior to the proceeding unless there is an issue of child endangerment that will be reviewed by the court. The court will not look favorably upon a parent who simply refuses to allow the other parent visitations with the child.
