Legal Question in Family Law in California

When I was 7 months pregnant the father of my child left, he wasn't there for the birth but has been child support for the last 4.5 years (on and off) by depositing money to a card. His never been a part of my daughter's life, they have never met. His not on the birth certificate either. Does he have any legal rights on her? Should I just go ahead and file for sole custody? I live in California.
