In fl, if there is no legal order/ agreement but between unmarried parents, what are the mother's rights concerning custody? Can the father take the child from her without her consent?

Re: Child custody
The mother has all rights until the father files a paternity action to determine what his rights are. The father cannot take the child. If he does so, he may even risk criminal charges.
