You should think about retaining a lawyer, especially if he already has one.
Also, it appears you have the evidence. Now, you should consider your witnesses to testify to the fact that he did not visit your daughter and did not want anyone to do with her until you filed for child support. Also, you should have witnesses to testify to the type of mother you are.
Even with that evidence and witness testimony, except under unusual circumstances, he will have some visitation rights. It may start out as supervised visitation once or twice a month and expands as your daughter becomes used to him.

He will have some visitation which may start out as a few hours a week. A family law attorney can help with a parenting schedule. Otherwise a judge who is unfamiliar with your case may order overnight visitation on the first court date.
