How can a mother who's been diagnosed with Bipolar Skitzophrenia have custody of a child?

Firstly, Bipolar disorder and Schizophrenia are two completely separate conditions. There is no such thing as Bipolar Schizophrenia.
Bipolar and Schizophrenia have a range of severities and are generally episodic illnesses. While on treatment some people may never have another episode and can function normally in society and hold down jobs.
When the courts are looking at custody they are advised by the patients medical team and look at a range of factors including severity, frequency of episodes, insight, compliance with the medical team and medications as well as social supports in place.
The courts will look at what is best for the children. Children by far do better with their biologic parents even when the situation is not ideal. There generally needs to be a very strong reason for custody to be taken away from parents. Court decisions are not necessarily all or nothing. They may allow custody with caveats such as regular meetings and supervision.

The father must establish his paternity through the courts since he and the mother were not married. He can petition for full custody. He should consult with an attorney who specializes in custody issues. The mother's abandonment can certainly be used as evidence that the father should receive legal custody.

If a mother with a child enters rehab to fix her problems can the father get full custody where they already have joint custody?
It really depends. I think that the mother and father should have full custody. I say this because the mother is doing this to get better, for the benefit of her kids. Some might argue that she should not have custody because why would she had to go to rehab in the first place. It really depends. I think that the mother and father should have full custody.

Can a mother who is being diagnosed with bipolar disorder be forced to pay child support?
The only way a mother can be forced to pay child support in any state, is if she does not have primary custody of the child. If the child or children live primarily with the father, then the mother can be made to pay child support.
What are the chances of getting primary custody of an unborn child with a mother who turned out to have BiPolar Depression and has decided to not marry you?
Sole custody would be highly unlikely, regardless of the mother's alledged mental condition. When a couple are not married, the law presumes the birth mother to have sole and permanent custody of the minor child. The male must establish paternity (preferably by DNA testing) before any issues concerning the child (child support, visitation, custody, etc.) will be addressed by the court.

Can a father who has joint physical custody of his son be granted sole physical custody if the mother is in jail?
Either parent can have physical custody in a joint custody arrangement. If there is a court order granting the mother physical custody the father should notify the court of the mother's incarceration and have that order modified unless he wants the mother to resume physical custody when she is released.

Yes. Legal and physical custody granted to the mother means full, sole legal and physical custody.
Do you have the right to get the child from the custody of her mother?
You have the right to file for a change of custody with the court. You will have to present convincing evidence that the child's mother is unfit to retain custody of the child. Frankly: It is a stiff burden of proof to overcome to convince the court to remove a child from its mother's custody.
What rights does a mother have if custody hasn't been established?
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.
