It is difficult to answer this question without knowing more about how well you and the father get along with each other. If you think he'd be receptive, you might speak with him to see if he'd be willing to let her stay with you on a trial basis. If he declines or if you don't feel comfortable approaching him, I recommend you consult with an attorney who can discuss the situation with you and help you decide your best course of action.
