He can still gain custody as the presumptive father.
No. A child is no one's property. An unmarried mother has sole custody until the father establishes his paternity in court.

no
The mother. If she dies, her parents get custody.
Father must petition for custody and court will weigh what situation is best for the child
He can still gain custody as the presumptive father.
A child does not need to be abandoned by their mother for a father to be awarded full custody. If the father can demonstrate before a judge that the mother is unfit to parent, the judge can award him full custody of the child.
The mother. The father have to petition the court for custody.
It is very rare that a Mother wants to give full custody of a child to the Father. To this all a Mother would have to do is choose to sign and give up her rights to the child in court.
It depends on the law where you live and your custody order. If the father has sole legal custody (as opposed to physical custody) he would be able to make that decision without input from the mother. If legal custody is joint or the mother has sole legal custody, no he could not.
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.
Depends if the child has to remain in the same school district. see link below
