The best you can do is file a court petition for sole legal custody and ask for supervised visitation for your daughter so he can't gain control over her, but the court might not go along with this. You should consult with an experienced family law attorney. If finances are an issue your county bar association can inform you about reduced fee and even pro bono (free) services for which you might financially qualify.
