Generally, no. You haven't mentioned whether the parents are married or who has legal custody. Generally, one parent cannot remove the child from the other parent without a court order. If the parents are unmarried and there has been no custody order established then the mother has legal custody.
Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must establish his paternity by signing the birth certificate at the time of birth (waiving DNA testing rights) which must be done with mother's consent.
If he doesn't sign the birth certificate then he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done through a DNA test. A paternity test can be arranged through the court. Once paternity is established in court, the father can request visitations or custody through the court. If the mother retains physical custody she can request that the court issue a child support order. If the father gets physical custody he can request a child support order.
Up until the child turns age 18 and even if the father was never notified of the existence of the child, as is common.
The step father would have to adopt the child. For this to happen, the biological father would have to relinquish all rights through the court system.
A mother cannot move a child across the country without a father's consent. However, if it is spelled out in separation or divorce papers, she can.
At 18, you are no longer considered a child for child support purposes unless you have not graduated high school or are disabled. If the child is 18 and out of high school, you must contact the Texas AG to stop child support.
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.

no
No unless the child is under 18 or it has been previously agreed upon in a decree. Texas does not have child support for adults in college.
In Louisiana, if you live together and have a child but are not married, the father still has financial responsibilities. He is legally obligated to provide financial support for the child, which may include child support payments. This means he should contribute towards the child's expenses such as healthcare, education, and basic needs.
