If you have sole custody, get a certified copy of that judgment and take it to law enforcement where the father is and pick up your daughter. Or, take that judgment to the court where you live and have the judgment made the judgment of that court. Of course, the first thing you do is get an attorney where you are. They can do what you need done. That is based on what you said about the legal proceedings in your question and ignores all the other stuff you write because that is for presentation to a court. Get an attorney.
