No, the mother is no more entitled to custody than the father. If the father currently has temporary or implied custody, then a custody order must first be established before you can get partial custody or visitation rights. For example, if you moved out and left the child in the care of the father, you forfeited your custody rights until an official custody order has been established.
I think what you are asking is what are the parental rights if someone else obtains custody? If this is your question then the answer depends on why someone else has temporary custody. Is CPS/DCFS/DSS involved and did they remove the children? Was there are guardianship hearing that awarded someone temporary custody? If there is indeed a temporary custody order in place your parental rights are determined by the court governing said order.
No, both parents have equal rights to the child. If the child is currently living with the father, then he has established temporary custody. A court will need to decide upon a formal custody and child support agreement.

Police don't question mothers about custody when there's a claim the father kidnapped the child, but single fathers have absolutely no rights to the child until granted them. see link
If you are not married the custody automatically falls on the mother and the father have to go to court to get visitation or custody. If you are married you have equal rights.
