The child goes to foster care of relatives until a decision of the court. In a related case, the child of an Ohio woman in jail for getting pregnant by a 13 year old boy, was placed in the care of her parents and the parents of the boy was ordered to pay child support.
No, this is illegal. Both parents must adhere to the custody schedule. If the father is entitled to visitation or partial custody, the mother cannot legally defy the schedule and refuse to let him see the child.
Potentially yes, especially if the woman is living with or receiving documented financial assistance from her parents. The courts consider all sources of income as well as the child's living environment when making the decision regarding who is awarded custody.
Of course not. It is inside a woman's body. No one apart from the mother can obtain "custody" of a fetus. Custody battles must wait until the child has been born.Of course not.

Her parents can usually take the child in or grandparents. Child Welfare is usually not far away and has the right to decide what is a fitting home for the child. If the mother's parents or grandparents are not fit to raise the child then the child could become a ward of the courts, but, if the father of the child comes forward and can prove he has the finances to raise that child in a good environment (even his parents helping out or grandparents) then he could raise this child. When the young woman gets out of the Juvenile facility she will have rights to see her child, but it is up to the courts to decide if she is a fit parent. If not, then the father can have sole custody. Marcy
yes...if the father has custody of the child or children then a woman has to pay child support just like a man.
There is no actual "custody" before a baby is born. It's not necessary- it is inside of and part of its mother's body. Generally, custody issues cannot be raised until after the child is born.However, if a pregnant woman is found to be doing something that is endangering her fetus (drug abuse for example), the state can place her in protective custody until the child is born.There is no actual "custody" before a baby is born.

YES, a woman can file for child support and not address custody in the courts, but a man can not request visitation time without the subject of child support being addressed. All single mother have sole custody by default, in 49 states.
The law presumes that an unmarried woman has sole custody of a child born out of wedlock until/unless a court rules otherwise.
If she has full custody, then yes.
