If a single father, yes, as you have no assumed rights to the child. If married, generally not, but the application of this is less clear as the police rarely ask the mother to prove she has custody. As such, you get arrested and by the time you clear it up, she has filed against you. see link

Only with permission of both parents. Your marriage to the father with joint custody does not automatically confer parental rights including access to medical records without written permission from both parents in cases of joint custody and may not even apply if the father had full legal and physical custody.

No, unless the baby's biological father relenquishes his parental rights, he would get custody of the child if the mother dies, not her husband. The biological father must sign his rights away to the mother's husband.
