No, because the dad is in charge of the safety of the child too.
Saving your childNot really. That is protecting your child from danger. But you would still need a court order to keep the child or atleast the mother's permission.Wiki User

∙ 13y agonot if he's married to the mother and no custodial orders exist. Single fathers cannot take the children.
Answer:
If paternity has been established, or the father is listed on the birth certificate then he has the same rights to the child as the mother. The only way that it is considered kidnapping is if there is a court order visitation schedule and one or the other parent disregards the visitation order and does their own thing.
This order dictates who should have "custody" when, and if the right parent doesn't have the child at the right time, per this order - it can be considered kidnapping - but don't bet the farm on it - other factors can contribute.
Check with your state laws online and a local attorney or more details.

∙ 13y agoIf the father had legal custody, possibly.
Answer:
If the father is not listed on the birth certificate, does not have DNA proof the child is his, does not have his paternity determined through the courts - then he ain't got a single right in the world. The unwed mother is not obligated in any way, shape or form to grant visitation to the "father", because the law does not recognize him as such.

Is it considered kidnapping a child if mother and father are married and mother leaves with child without telling father?
