United States
A father cannot take a child from its mother. He needs to try to get custody through the family court.
Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity. Remember, a child's mother can always be identified by medical records. Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must establish his paternity. A paternity test can be arranged through the court and once established the father can request visitations, custody and set up a schedule of regular child support payments for the child if the mother retains physical custody.
If the parents are married they have equal parental rights. The father's rights are not superior and he has no authority to keep the child from the mother without a court order to that effect.
To succeed in a petition for custody the father would need to provide evidence that the mother is unfit. The factors used to determine that a parent is unfit are generally governed by state laws with child endangerment being the determining factor. The following include some of the reasons a parent may be declared unfit:
No, nor should it be possible. You take nothing from the mother. The issue is what is best for the child. Properly, that's both parents. There should be a clear and concise reason to challenge for full custody.
As always, it depends on the circumstances and on human judgement.
What are the legality of a father seeking a child away from a mother?
Only in cases of illegitimate births. Well, the mother can take the child but she can't stop the child from seeing the father. the child deserves to see the father in their life. The father can also take the child back and the parents can share time with the child. Or the child can make his/her own decision to live with the mother or father.

The only way a mother can take a child away from the custodial father for a few months is if the custodial father approves of it in writing, and the Court approves it if the child is taken out of the State. Without approval from the father, the child can only be taken if: 1. The mother has Sole legal custody of the child. 2. There are no orders that the father be allowed any visitation.
If a father finds out he is the biological father of a child, he has as many rights to the child as the mother does. He can take the mother to court for custody or to set up a parenting plan.
