Maybe none. In Florida, if there is no custody order in place, the mother automatically has sole custody if the parents are not currently married and have never been married to one another. Regardless of what the birth certificate says this is the law there. You might want to get a lawyer immediately and have them file for an emergency hearing. You need to take to the hearing and laywer any proof (written documents) showing that she is unfit, find out about her employment status and how the child is currently being supported, and prove to the judge why she should not have custody. The judge should issue at least a temporary custody order and set a date for an upcoming trial to decide what is in the best interest of the child.

It's all about custody. If there is no court ordered custody arrangment then who ever has the child has custody and can do what they like. If dad has been caring for the baby while mom was in the hospital, I'd say don't let her take him/her at all. If she wants to visit she can come to dad's house and see the baby.
If there is court-ordered custody, then it's whatever is in that document. Some arrangments forbid either parent from moving out of state, others don't.

Technically the father has as lots good to enhance the baby via fact the mum does, inspite of any help or no longer from his mom and dad. the place the difficulty gets sticky is that if she places the baby for adoption pointing out she does no longer be attentive to who the father is and no person takes steps to locate him. The gadget is meant to accomplish that or time ought to be taken in a technique to declare in courtroom that they are in a position to't locate him yet while the father catches wind of the actuality that the mum is attempting to place the baby for adoption without his consent then he grants up the technique. He could ought to circulate by using a DNA technique to coach paternity inspite of the incontrovertible fact that that's a risk and this is been executed, lots. regrettably, organic and organic fathers have additionally slipped in the process the cracks besides and been left the two intense and dry or suffering for years to regain custody or a minimum of a few touch.

Get himself a lawyer and he can stop the mother from moving to another state. By te sounds of it he should look into getting custody of the child if she is making suicide attempts.

None, you're not married. Because of her mental problem you might get an injunction from a court.
Good Luck.
