Family Court.
If there is no court order petaining to custody rights, either parent can take any action they choose in regards to the children. This obviously does not include anything that could place the children in physical danger or emotional distress. The court does not look favorably upon one parent who keeps the other from having contact with the children. The exception would be if the parent has been proven unfit in the guidelines set by state laws.
Yes, legally you may. Will the judge hearing the custody case look favorably upon such action is a bigger question. Speaking from professional experience, judges do not care for such arrangements especially when there are minor children involved.
No one can answer that. It fully depends on if the mother cleans up her act and remedies whatever situation lead to such an action taking place and satisfies both the state and the court that it will not happen again.
Maybe, if the absent parent does not share custody in any manner and there is not a visitation order in place, a custodial parent can take whatever action he or she chooses in regards to a minor child. However, courts do not look favorably upon any parent who does not allow the other parent to have a relationship with his or her minor child/children unless there is substantiated reasons (child abuse, endangerment, etc.) for the action. A parent who is being denied access to his or her child/children can file suit for visitation and/or custodial rights if they so choose.
No. If a custody action has been filed then the court has jurisdiction over the child and has the authority to render a decision. It would not be wise for the parent with present custody to flee.No. If a custody action has been filed then the court has jurisdiction over the child and has the authority to render a decision.

Whether or not you have received formal notification, if you are aware that such an action has been filed, you should immediately retain an attorney in that State who specializes in family law.
no
By virtue of being "unwed" the mother will have sole custody. Father will have file some type of paternity action.
The only thing you can do is go to court. You need to have a custody arrangement put into place. That way you have a legal course of action that you can take when he says you can not see the children.
