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.
File a petition (lawsuit) in the appropriate court to have parental rights restored.
yes, as long as it does not include a relocation, and does not interfere with a parent's access rights schedule.
That depends on where you live and your custody order. Were you granted temporary custody with parental rights intact? Were the parents divested of their parental rights and you were granted sole legal and physical custody? There are all different kinds of custody agreements and they can be modified. Refer to your documents or seek the advice of an attorney for an informed opinion.
you don't. giving up or terminating your parental rights is forever. What are you trying to do. If you are trying to suspend child support for a time or need to give temporary custody of the child over to the other parent for a short time due to illness, school, business, and the like, file a "modification of final judgment of (paternity, divorce, etc) and request the change before the Judge. If the other party is in agreement, it can be done simply and at little cost to you with a stipulated agreement.
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.
Temporary custody is the precursor to the final decision. Therefore, if you have been awarded temporary custody, this may not be the final decision by the judge. The judge will take in all considerations and issue a permanent order that will state the custody arrangements.
No, the fathers rights comes first as a custodial parent.
Not at all. Terminating parental rights is a court process by which you either voluntarily relinquish your parental rights or there is serious danger posed to your child such that the court does it without your consent. Either way, when parental rights are terminated, the parent has no more rights to the child. Losing custody can be a temporary thing and does not change your parental status.

See to that she gets temporary custody asap. They both have equal rights to the kids as long as they are married.
That depends on the legal custody agreement in place. If no custody agreement has been hammered out in court, you should contact the family court in your county of residence, or an attorney, for information on filing papers to assign temporary guardianship of your child to your sister. You may both have to appear in court so the judge can determine whether or not such an arrangement is in the best interests of the child. In other words, cover your bases. Fathers do have rights and if he finds out that you are violating his rights, you may be facing a custody battle.
