You need an attorney. Your situation is far too complex to resolve over a blog like LawGuru or Avvo. With domestic abuse in the picture, you have a good chance that Legal Aid would provide you a free attorney.
Don't worry about countersuing for false statements made against you. That is just a distraction. You need to stay focused on protecting your child from an abusive person. If the father was convicted for a crime that involves family violence OR has received deferred adjudication for a crime of family violence (within the last 2 years), he will have a hard time in court.
Good luck!!
