Legally, he is the father in two ways: 1) he signed the birth certificate, and 2) married the mother of the child. She should immediately file an emergency motion for return of minor child and obviously respond to the divorce papers as soon as possible.

Now that she had been served divorce papers - get that case number and file a emergency hearing and emergency motion for return of the minor child.
