In many states, you can voluntarily terminate your parental rights, but in doing so, that does not absolve you of certain parental responsibilities, such as child support. All it does is strip you of any physical presence or decision making in your child's life. If you're going to be paying support anyway, why would you want to do that? Children need both of their parents.
Yes, equal to the mother.

Yes. If there is no court order the father has no legal right to keep the children from their mother. If the parents were never married the mother has custody until the father has established his paternity legally through a court action. If married, both parents have equal parental rights.
If they are legally married, the father gets rights until mother gets out of prison, after that it is up to the state. If not legally married, they go into state custody.
It depends on marital status. If married, parents have equal parental rights. If unmarried, the mother has custody and the father must establish his paternity legally. Once established he can request joint custody and visitations.
Under 18 require parental permission to get married. In some places it requires a court order.
In the UK, if you are married when your children are born, you both automatically have parental rights. If you are not married, then you have to apply for parental responsibility rights, if the mother does not want to share that with you. This can be done by court order. After 2003, if not married but father is written on the birth certificate, that is enough to have parental responsibility and all that that entails. Not sure how it is for you guys in the USA!
Yes. An unmarried mother has sole custody of her child until the father establishes his paternity legally and then petitions for custodial rights. Once the father has established his parental rights legally, the mother cannot move to another state without his consent and/or the court's permission since the move would mean the father's visitation rights would be affected.Yes.
