Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

I was never married to my 7 year old's father. Her father was to pay child suport & insurance. The past 2 years he has not paid insurance. They take the child support out of his check. He sees her appro 6 to 8 hours a month. At times doesn't see her. I am having surgery & am concern if something goes wrong, what will happen to her. My bestfriend is her Godmother & has been there for her all along. I have had 3 surgeries & she has taken care of her. He lives in a hotel paid by his job, Mon-Fri 3 hours away. He comes down for Sat & Sun & stays at different womens houses or hotels. I am cooncerned for her. I told him I wanted her Godmother to have custody of her should something happen. He refuses unless he is no longer livivng. Is there anything I can do to give her the custody?
