It depends on whether the case has ever been adjudicated in family court. If paternity has never been established the mother has sole custody. If paternity was established and the father was granted joint custody or visitation rights then those orders stand until they have been modified by the court.

Of course not. In the United States an unwed mother has sole custody of her child until the father has established his paternity legally, in court. Then he must petition for custody and/or visitation rights. He cannot make any changes in the custody of the child via a power of attorney. The unwed mother should exercise her parental rights aggressively and not allow grandparents or the father to take control of her "rights".
Can a father keep a child from a mother if there is no court order?
Neither parent should keep a child away from the other parent if there is no good reason. A good reason would be abuse, neglect, drug abuse, etc... If there are problems with custody and there are not court custody papers, there needs to be. Go to the court house and have the process started. Without these papers, either parent could keep the child (as long as the father is proven to be the father or his name is on the birth certificate) and it is not kidnapping. There is not court order preventing it. Also remember that the mother does not always automatically get full physical custody. The court looks at what is best for the child, not the parents.
