It is impossible to say that someone will never get unsupervised visits, absent thier parental rights being terminated by a court. But, given the information you provided, it sounds like you ahve a good case for asking the Court to order that visits be supervised. If you plan to refuse to "hand the kid over", then you shoudlo consutl direclty with an attorney in your area, to go over your options. If you wait unitl the father fiels a Motionwith the Court, you may be at a disadvantage. No one wants to spend more money than they have to. It is possible that your refusal to allow visitation, without seeking an Order of the court, could get the father custody and you paying chidl support with yrou own limited visitation. Based upon what you described, there is no reason that you have to deliver the child two hours away for a visit. The father needs to show why he cannot come get eh child, or at least meet you half way.
Good luck
