Most often the mother gets physical custody but the court can award joint legal custody if the parents get along well and have the best interest of the child as their mutual priority. If the father wants physical custody, generally, he will need to show that the mother is unfit and the child would be better off with him. In that case the court must be provided with evidence of the mother's unfitness and each jurisdiction has its own criteria. See the related question.
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.

The baby's grandparents could get custody.
Boyfriend or husband (unless he is the biological father) has no legal right to the child at all. The mother can try to go for full custody though.
No, as he has no legal rights to the child even if he sign the certificate himself. You will need to file for custody. see links below.
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.

If at the custody hearing, the judge believes that you are the cause of the child's overweight problem, the father could very well win full custody. If you can afford it, hire a lawyer to argue for your side.
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.
How does he have any visitation rights with a custody and child support order?
You may have to pay child support to the one who has custody of your children.
yes
yes if she has full custody
No. If the child's' mother calls the police you could loss custody of your child and possible go to jail. If I was you I would contact a lawyer who specializes in child custody cases. If you can get a notarized letter from the mother saying it is okay and giving you full custody.
If the mother has the full custody then she can take the child, and she can get the child support. If she doesn't have the full custody, then she is not allowed to take the child without the father consent, but she still can get the child support.
most likely..no. well that's what i think. ;)
