It needs to be clearly defined in the Will, with the help of an attorney with experience in this.
Who is in jail? If the child is in jail, they have custody. If the adult is in jail, they should never get custody. If the spouse is in jail they should not get custody. Jail would have no bearing on the time of custody, just who should be able to even see the child.
The main duties as a godfather are to guide your godchild in religion. It is also believed that in case the parents were not available or were to perish, you would become the person responsible for raising this child. When a parent thinks of someone as a godfather to their child, this parent has trust in you and believes that you would be a good parent to their kid. Now frivoulosly speaking, you are responsible for baptizing the child and being at every single birthday and celebration (i.e: christmas, easter) with a gift for the child. Hope this helps... :)

They have to adopt the child, otherwise you should pay.
You should take this matter back to court immediately to modify your current agreement. Ensure that you are prepared to show proof that the custody arrangement has changed, and that support has been paid to the custodial parent (on paper) although circumstances have changed. Request that the backdated support be paid in addition to child support going forward
Not really. Child support is for the care of the child and should be disbursed to the person with legal custody. In other words, you can't have your cake and eat it too.
If there is a change in physical custody the new custodial parent should notify the court immediately and get the child support order modified. It should be done at the same time as the change in custody. He should return to court and inquire there.If there is a change in physical custody the new custodial parent should notify the court immediately and get the child support order modified.

Anyone with a child living with him/her should have legal custody of that child - it can avoid all sorts of problems with the child's education, medical care, etc.
