If you were never married to your child's father and there has been no order establishing paternity or support then you alone are the legal guardian of the child. Kidnapping may not really apply.  I would speak with an attorney and explain the circumstances. If it is determined that you can not leave with out his consent or court order apply for the court order. But ask the attorney what your chances really are before you take on legal fees.  Good luck.
