If legal paternity hasn't been established, then he cannot force her to stay. However, he can request the court to order paternity testing and file for visitation. In that case, he could prevent her from moving the child.

Was paternity established with the baby? Did he sign the birth paperwork? If so, mom may encounter some troubles if she moves. She should either see an attorney ASAP or go to court and file for custody with permission to move. If she can prove the move is in the childs best interest she might be able to move. She had a kid with this guy so he does have some rights. If he signed away his rigths to another kid then I have no idea why she would have a baby with him.

He is not going to be able to sign away his rights on this one. He can work out a visitation schedule with mom and your daughter is free to file for child support. If she moves out of state, the burden of helping out with transportation may fall on her.
