If the biological father isn't listed on the birth certificate and hasn't signed an Affidavit of Parentage, he isn't in any position to stop your daughter from taking her child out of Michigan.

However, you might want to consider whether you really want to deprive your grandchild of a relationship with the biological father. The child is also entitled to receive child support. If the child is relocated to New Mexico, you should meet with an experienced family law attorney there to inquire about getting the baby some child support.
