You need to get a custody order in place to address this. At this point in time, if he is not in actual physical custody of the child, you can go get her from whomever has her. But then he can show up and try to claim her. Then the police get involved, etc. etc. etc. Better to do this the right way. Get a divorce on file, as for emergency temporary custody orders, and work it out.
