A parent can only give a friend or relative temporary custody of a child (meaning three months or less). If one wishes to have someone take full permanent custody of their child, the parent needs to relinquish custodial rights and the accepting adult needs to apply for legal guardianship through prescribed legal methods. The other option is obviously relinquishing parental rights so the child can be adopted. The legal process is quite different however if the child is not a U.S. citizen.
It depends on the reasons for moving and the age of the child. How has custody of the child.
The guidelines are basically the same in every state but obviously there are a few minor differences. Joint custody consists of Primary Custody & Secondary Custody. The parent with primary custody is who the child lives with & the other parent has secondary custody. Depending on the age of the child & the state in which they reside, the court may let them determine where they choose to live. Or if both parents agree on the child's decision then the child can live with either parent.
Yes, but he could file for custody. Not tomorrow, nor next week. Take a month and prepare. see links below.
With no courts orders in place, the father has no legal right to have the child living with him. The mother has sole custody and control in all states, and he can still be obligated to pay support for this time period. He needs to immediately file a motion with the court to establish his rights and for at least temporary custody, pending a full hearing, before she gets wind of the fact that she can take the child away from him at any time. see links below.

No. Custody means the child lives with you. Support means you are paying the parent who has custody.
Length of time a child lives with a parent is not a factor in determining custody or modifying it. Custody is awarded based on the court's opinion of the child's best interests.
Father would have to consent to the adoption. Definitely worth petitioning for custody if you feel that you and your family can care for the child.
