If you have been served with a Summons and Petition (the documents that begin a court case), then you are bound by the standard family law restraining orders on page 2 of the Summons. Specifically, you are restrained from removing the child from the State of California without a COURT ORDER or the express written consent of the father. It sounds like you have neither. If you move out of state without his permission or the approval of the court, you are in violating those restraining orders I mentioned. You should really discuss your matter with a family law attorney in your area.
