He cannot just take off with your daughter, he would have to go through the courts and establish paternity and request custody orders, or you can do this yourself, as Ms. Kock has mentioned. To obtain the best possible outcome, you should retain an attorney. The attorney can discuss your case in detail, and whether moving in with mom and brother is a good idea.
