If legal paternity has not been established in court or by affidavit, you probably need to contact cps in the short term and file for paternity.
As a married couple, either of you has the right to have your child anywhere in the United States that you wish without permission of the other one, unless a court has jurisdiction due toi a separation or divorce filing. If you take the step you are contemplating, do not use any force , violence, or subterfuge.
