the father gets the custody of the child if the mother dies
My husband had this happen to him..... The mother had sole custody, she died in a car accident. Father picked her up and now had sole custody of her. We called around to different attourneys to see if we had to do anything through the courts to get sole custody, and we were told that due to bio mother dying biodad instantly got sole custody. Now if he didn't want sole custody then a near relative could petition the court for sole custody. Hope that helps some.
The court would have to award you custody.
No, they would be considered a runaway. see links
That's up to a judge, but why would it matter?

If you gave up custody, you would need to file a petition with the court to modify custody. However, you must show that a change in custody would be in the best interest of the child as well as other factors.
No. He cannot obtain legal custody without a modification of the custody order by the court. He would need to petition for a change in custody. The court would review the petition and render its decision. It would be easier if your mother consents to the petition.
"While a lawyer specializing in child custody would be great, most lawyers are qualified to handle child custody cases."
By filing for custody modification in the court with jurisdiction, then prove to the court why it would be in the best interests of your child to award joint custody.
If for a drug addiction, would that not be best for the child? At the minimum, temporary custody would be awarded.
The father would need to petition the court in the jurisdiction where custody was determined for a modification in the custody order, then be prepared to present a compelling case why it would be in the best interests of the children for him to assume custody. It would be in your best interests to have expert legal representation when challenging a custody order.
A petition to have the lien removed can be made to the court. The bankruptcy discharge will not automatically cancel it out. I am assuming "nonsecure" refers to the creditor who holds the lien (such as a credit card debt). This is not a factor in whether or not the lien will or can be dismissed. Refer to the statutes of the state of residency, governing such actions.

It would be highly unusual for a judge to grant sole custody in such a situation. She would have to be deemed an unfit parent by the court or consent to the custody arrangement.

You can but it would not be wise. The Custody Interrogatories Form in the state of N.J gives the judge a idea of how you plan on rasing the child if you were awarded custody.
