<p>你不用留爸爸 means "you don't need to/have to try to make dad stay"
你不留爸爸 would mean "you don't try to make dad stay", so more like stating a fact.</p>

<p>So I was watching a show and they say, 
你不用留爸爸</p>

<p>And I got confused as to why they used 用 in it.</p>

<p>Is it the same when you don't use 用 in that sentence? Like,</p>

<p>你不留爸爸</p>

What is the context? Can you give us the sentence before and after? Could mean: Don't make Dad stay.
