More details to this question:
My daughter’s dad is a recovering drug addict. In May of 2015, he signed away his rights. My daughter will now be 1 year old and I've gotten $20 from him for her. That’s it. He is also no longer on the birth certificate. Can he take me to court and make the court sign a paper saying I have to let him see her? Please help. I'm only 18 and I don't know what to do. Should I leave the state? Would it be considered kidnapping if I left for a while?

The key is what do you mean by, "he signed away his rights"? If he signed a voluntary termination of parental rights and a court order terminating his rights was issued, then he is out of the picture. If he signed something that you wrote up, then he is still the father. You need to let a family lawyer look at the documents you have and look at the case on the county website.
