Probably not. You will also discover that some states, I believe TX is one, that will force you to take the child to visitation to the dad while in prison.
You have to show that the child, in some fashion is in danger of harming the child. Now that he's locked up, no access to the child, while visiting will be watched by security/camera's everywhere.....
You get the picture.
AnswerNo. Only a court can grant custody rights or guardianship rights. The inmate cannot assign his parental rights to his own mother.
Yes, equal to the mother.
Other than the mother, no one.
No. That can only be done by a court order.
Yes.
I think it depends on how long the mother will be incarcerated for. There might be a hearing giving the father temporary custody. But if the father ever tries to get full physical custody of the child in the future, it might not be good for the mother. However, she can never be refused visitation.

Custody, not parental rights.
a parental guardian
No, see link.
Probably not. In most places, unless your natural father has lost or given up his rights and the step father actually adopted you, he has no parental rights (he was merely your mother's husband.)
