Not married to the father of my child, he left the baby and I to live in KY. Can he legally come and take the baby across state lines without my permission and never bring him back? If he were to take him over state lines without my permission can I charge him with Kidnapping?

Can the mother of a child from an unmarried relationship take that child and leave the state before the father has filed a motion for visitation/custody. Or can that same mother give the child to a grandparent to leave the state as so the father doesn’t have enough time to file the correct proceedings.

My friend had relations with a young women, who became pregnant. The child is in fact his, as he made sure there was a paternity test done as soon as the baby was born. When he was first made aware that she was pregnant, he let her know that he did not want to raise a child with her. It was her choice as to whether or not she has the baby, obviously. She had the baby, now my friend pays for the babies Health Insurance (she does not have health insurance) and he has been paying Child Support. His income is low, as he runs his own business and he just started his own business two years ago. The mother of the baby has ordered another hearing to get more child support. The W2′s do not lie and there are no special circumstances that would require more support at this time. I do know the mother of baby is living from house to house, and has a very low income job. The child is healthy and well taken care of, but is her particular situation considered “special circumstances” that would require more support?
Does this mean if the babies mother still does not agree to the amount that he will have to go to court?
