Signing away one's parental rights or custody will not, in itself, relieve one of child support.
maybe when the child is born take her to court for visitation It depends on just how old he is. 15..16..17? In some states you don't have to be 18 to be considered an "adult" and do what you want to do. I know in Texas the legal age is 17. So he would be able to see his daughter. He should be allowed to see her anyway unless the mother is much older than that may cause a problem with the parents.
A 17 year old in Texas has a few different rights. These rights include right to due process and right to counsel. Once they turn 18 they are considered an adult and have all the rights that an adult does.
No. Access rights are a separate issue, and single fathers have no presumed rights to the child. A motion must be filed to establish those rights.
With court approval and provided welfare is not involved. see links
In Texas, grandparents do not have automatic legal rights to visit their grandchildren. However, they may petition the court for visitation rights under certain circumstances, such as if the grandchild's parent is deceased, incarcerated, or if it is in the child's best interest to have visitation with the grandparent.
You can Google: Texas Standard Visitation and it should be the first thing that pops up.
No as they have no standing in the courts.
Do you have a court order saying you have visitation? Are you the biological father? If so then YES. Go back to court and file for custody.
see link
Not if you have court ordered visitation rights or shared custody.
First you need to develop you evidence of denial of access rights. Once that is done, there are forms at the clerk of the court office for enforcement of access rights. You can file a motion for contempt of a court order if the custodial parent is violating the visitation schedule.
No. Child support, visitation, custody etc are all separate issues. The court will see to what is best for the child and one parent can not deny the parental rights of the other.

Sole even if he was still shacking up with you
Some states may allow for it, but with that specific set of circumstances, the answer would be no in Texas (and I would imagine most states).
