If he is beating you up, he likely will also hit her. Do either of you have parents that could take care of her? Giving him temporary custody will not result in a permanent situation but it will not help you when the court makes the decision.

You need to contact a battered womens shelter or agency and find a safe place for you, your daughter, and your baby.
