Unwed mother move-away

My question involves paternity law for the State of: California

I am an unwed mother of a 1/2 year old baby. On his birth certificate, the father name is blank. However, the baby has his dad's last name. The dad of the baby has never established for paternity. Baby has been living with me. The dad has been visiting the baby from time to time.

Recently my current company relocate me to a foreign country for an assignment (there is no deadline on the assignment). I wonder if I can just move with the baby without his knowledge of consent.

Can he file to established paternity after I moved to a foreign country?
If so, does he have the right to take the baby back? (Note that I will try my best to maintain the quality of life for the baby.)
If so, what is going to be likely for the term of visitation?
Will I have to pay for his ticket to meet the baby? (I make more money).
What if I loose the job while I am in the country. Do I have to move back?

NOTE: we are both U.S. citizen.

Well if there has not been parenty to prove he is the father yet,then you could go. The most that would happen would be that if he chose to file for visitaions then he may be allowed them,but he would first have to establish parenty. He would probary have to wait until you came back to the states before taking you to court. You might want to tell him your going to provide a better life for the baby and see if he would just agree. If he would just have him sign a statement that he was made aware that you were moving due to a job. If you have never filed for sole custody though the court then at this time meither one of you have custody. It is always best to work with the father.
