Legal Question in Family Law in Mississippi

If dad is not on birth certificate and has no legal rights, can the mother leave the state with the child without his say so even if he is looking to get rights? I don't want to be stuck in the state with him for the next 17 years and my question is can I get out and be okay and then where I go hire a lawyer and give him rights and what not but not be prosecuted for leaving the state?
