Re: support
Support and visitation are two totally separate issues. Drag your ex into court to enforce visitation. He may make a motion to modify support based on changed circumstances. You would then argue that the support circumstances have not changed as you still support your daughter. As far as a result, depends upon how the facts shake out and your judge.
