To obtain joint custody of his child, a father typically needs to file a petition with the family court. The court will consider factors such as the child's best interests, the father's relationship with the child, and the ability of both parents to co-parent effectively. It is important for the father to present a strong case and demonstrate his commitment to being involved in the child's life. Legal representation may be helpful in navigating the court process.
Boyfriend or husband (unless he is the biological father) has no legal right to the child at all. The mother can try to go for full custody though.

If you have joint custody, there is one parent that is the custodial parent. A child can move in with you if you are the custodial parent or you can file in court to change your status to the custodial parent. The child should want to live with you as well.
That depends on the custody order, but she can file for a change of custody.
To file for joint custody of a child, you typically need to submit a petition to the family court in the county where the child resides. This petition should outline your request for joint custody and provide reasons why it is in the best interest of the child. You may also need to attend a court hearing to present your case. It is recommended to seek legal advice to ensure the process is done correctly.
If the mother has sole custody of the child, then yes -- the father doesn't need notification. With joint custody, the answer may vary, but in most cases the father must be at least notified. The permission would be from a judge, not the father.
Yes if she could prove that the child is better off in her primary care. If the child is thriving and safe with you, it would be hard for her to prove. But custody can change at anytime so she has the right to file.
Yes, but there are steps you must take to get to that point. First, you will need to file a petition to legitimate child and modification of child custody (unless you are legally married to the mother). Normally, in most Georgia cases, you will automatically be granted joint legal custody, but not necessarily joint physical. Determination of physical custody will depend on MANY different factors. You may have to prove the mother unfit... more than that, you will have to show that the 'change in custody' will be in the best interest of the minor child... not the parties.
