Unfortunately, your daughter chose to have a baby with a man she doesn't like. The father can sign a paternity acknowledgement and bring an action for visitation or custody. It will be up to the court to determine the best interest of the child. However, in this present day and age, unless the father is totally and absolutely unfit, he can assert his rights and be a part of his child's life.
