It depends on why you have custody and who arranged it. You should visit the court that issued the custody order or guardianship and inquire there.

To my knowledge, if a state agency is not involved because of negelct or abuse, your mother-in-law can get temporary custody if you go to family court and ask that she take temporary custody until you are ready to take them back; it could be because you are having financial difficulty, hospitalization or other issue that you need to deal with As far as your mother-in-law getting custody against your will, I don't think that can happen. If it is happening, you need to contact your local Child Protective Services.
The only way would be to do a personal agreement between the mother & father, ideally having it filed with the court. However, at any time, either parent can utilize Child Support without the other parent's consent. If the Mother spends more time with the child than the Father, she is most likely entitled to child support.
That does not mean you have full custody. Even though the father is not around you should still go for full custody. Theres always that chance the father could back around and that child is not with you he has just as much right to that child as you do.
He needs to file immediate for a change in custody, otherwise he's still obligated to pay child support, and she can come take the child back at any time. see link below
Having full legal or physical custody. If it is full legal custody the mother has given up any legal claim to the child. If it is full physical custody with joint legal custody the child will be in the legal custody parents home. She may elect to give the child up to be adopted by the stepmother. In many states (and maybe in all states) if the custodial parent dies, then the non-custodial parent gains custody, provided that that his/her parental rights have not been terminated (and just because he/she did not have legal custody does not mean that his/her parental rights were terminated). Of course, in that event the stepparent can still petition the court for custody. Check with a local attorney.
Even though the mother is underage she still has custody of her child as long as she does not do something to get custody taken away from her
The parents have to go back to court to file a modification of the custody order. They should also terminate any child support order that obligates the father to pay child support
The father will have to take the mother of the child back to court if the divorce is already finalized. Custody should have been determined during the divorce so if 1 party wants to change that, they will have to take the other person back to court again.
Yes, the uncle would be responsible if something were to happen. Also, if custody was taken from the mother involuntarily the uncle could find himself in trouble for returning the child to his mother. He could be charged with child endangerment.The parties must return to court and request that legal custody be returned to the mother. They should consult with an attorney who specializes in custody issues if the situation is complicated.Yes, the uncle would be responsible if something were to happen.

You can petition to be appointed the child's guardian. However, the situation should be reported to the authorities since the mother has abandoned her child. You should speak with an advocate at the family court, child protective services or an attorney who specializes in custody issues if possible.You can petition to be appointed the child's guardian.

Yes, harboring a runaway.
The best way to handle this is to get a court order establishing legal custody.
You have to go to court and seek custody as well as guardianship.
Parents usually have to pay for their child even if it is the state that has custody. The child is taken away and parental rights terminated in order to protect the child. If you want your parental rights back and custody you will have to turn to the court.
Call the police. If his visitation period (as outlined by court order) has ended and the order says the child should be in the mother's custody, and he will not return the child, it is kidnapping or custodial interference. You should also call your lawyer. You might need to make a motion to modify the custody agreement to prevent this sort of thing from happening in the future.
No, both parents have equal rights to the child. If the child is currently living with the father, then he has established temporary custody. A court will need to decide upon a formal custody and child support agreement.
Only by court order. see links
