The district attorney or solicitor represents the state. You did not file charges. You are a witness in the case of the State Versus Him. Witnesses can't prosecute. Only the state can.

It depends. If he is facign criminal charges. there should be a victim-witness person assigned to your case by the prosecutor's office. If not, then you might need to retain an attorney. See website: www.lawrencelewispc.com

If you have a mind towards filing a later civil case against your daughter's father or if you feel that you may expose yourself to civil or criminal liability then you may want to consult your own lawyer.

Best of luck to you.
