How do you get custody if you are a father not married On the birth certificate but your son is out of state on a native American reservation?
If your son is Native American it will be close to impossible to get him away from the reservation due to the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA). If his mother is a fit parent they would not take him away from her. if you move to his state you can get shared custody and visitation.

Can a parent who hasn't been in contact with a child in 10 years get custody or visitation?
It's highly unlikely that custodial rights would even be considered. However, courts seldom refuse visitation rights unless there is evidence of abuse or neglect on the part of the requesting parent. If there is not a court order terminating parental rights due to abandonment or another such issue, the parent will likely be granted visitation. It is quite possible, the court would order supervised visitation for a specified length of time. A lot depends on the reason for non-contact with the child. Courts tend to leave things as they are and not make drastic changes in children's lives unless it is what they want and better for them in the long run. yes, you can get visitation and/or custody but again, it depends on what kept you away (drugs, jail, etc.).
Can a father get joint custody of a child from a woman he wasnt married to when she doesnt even want visitation?
Yes and the choice of visitation is not up to her, it's up to the judge. If he is the biological father and have proved paternity in court, he can petition for custody, visitation and pay child support. She has no legal right to keep the other parent away from the child.

Not unless there are extenuating circumstances that took away parental rights from the other parent which includes visitation; leaving the country could be considered kidnapping. See related question.
If one parent has full custody does that mean that the other parent gives up all rights and visitation to that child?
No. Courts are very concerned that children have the opportunity to spend time with both parents. Unless there are mitigating circumstances, such as proven previous abuse. Even in this scenario, the court could order supervised visitation.
Can mother chose grandparents to watch child in place of father?
A parent can chose whomever they are comfortable with and believe will take care of the child properly while they are away. There is no requirement that a child has to be with a parent, or even a relative. The decisions cannot interfere with the other parent's rights to access and visitation as prescribed by the court.
Do you still get visitation after you sign away your parental rights?
No. All your parental rights would be terminated including the right to visitations.
