Yes, he is entitled to parental rights whether or not you seek or obtain child support from him. If you genuinely believe he will kidnap her then you should file with the court an action to prevent him from doing so. If you do not have the funds to hire an attorney there is usually a self help center in the local courthouse that can assist you with the process. The court is first interested in the best interests and protection of the child.
