As the natural parent, all you have to prove is that you can provide a loving home with a stable environment for your daughter. The other party has no rights to your child. The courts in Florida have consistently held that a natural parent's rights are superior to any other party and will not be disturbed unless it is shown that if the child continues to live with the parent it will be unhealthy or dangerous for the child and not in the child's best interests.
