Legal Question in Family Law in Maine

My boyfriend had a one night stand with a 16 year old girl, before we were together. She ended up getting pregnant, and when the child was born there was a DNA test proving my boyfriend was the father. He pays child support every week, but dislikes the mother of his child a lot. She is threatening to file for full custody. She is 17 now with no license and she lives with her parents, and her father is a registered sex offender. Does she have a case?
