The only way a mother can take a child away from the custodial father for a few months is if the custodial father approves of it in writing, and the Court approves it if the child is taken out of the State.
Without approval from the father, the child can only be taken if:
1. The mother has Sole legal custody of the child.
2. There are no orders that the father be allowed any visitation.

Take him to court!
No...
In most places, the father has just as much right to their child as the mother does, even if they were never married. If the mother wants to legally keep the child away, she will need to go through the family courts. In some states, if she tries to do this without a court order, she can be charged with interfering with child custody or other charges. If there are no solid reasons to keep the father away, the judge may not grant the mother's request.
One would assume the father has access rights and would figure out the child no longer resides with the mother. He will be notified that the child support will be going to a different receiver. see links below
No, if they are married they have equal custody.
A modification need to be done to transfer the obligation from the father to the mother. see link below

Yes He Does If You Didnt File A Government Order For Him To Stay Away. If You Dont Want Him To See Your Child Then Go Get A Court Order.
Yes, harboring a runaway.
You can sign your rights away but you will still have to pay child support if you are the father or mother of the child. There is no way to avoid paying child support.
At 18, people are usually legally considered to be adults and they can do whatever they like as long as it's legal. If the child wants to see the father, the mother can't do much about it. She can make it difficult (if the child lives at home) by getting a restraining order, but that won't stop the child from meeting him somewhere else away from the mother.
