Actually, no...
If the dad's name is on the birth certificate, he has every right to pick her up.
If not, you have still implied knowledge of paternity by way of precedent, and can be brought to legal action for turning him away without a court order telling you to.
Mom needs to jump on this ASAP in a family court. You need papers to fulfill any request involving father's rights.
One hard lesson to learn in this biz- you are not a family court judge. Don't let them treat you like one.
