    From what you have described, i see no trouble with you keeping custody. if you do not have an attorney, you are going to need one.

    Child custody cases can be long and drawn out. they also can be a can-opener of each ones past. so, make sure you have explanations for any past dishonesties. this is where the dirt comes in, with child custody cases.

    Before your court date, find a quite room and begin writing a diary of the events leading to this case. include meeting your daughters father and events that lead to your separation. you need to remember the who, what, when, where and why questions and answers. planning for court is 2/3 rds the battle. your attorney will tell you this.

    Has dna every been tested on your daughter to make sure he is the father? if not, your attorney will probably arrange a test for you. this will come up in court.

    What this boils down to is money, not your daughter. remember this, if he sees his daughter, everything may take a dramatic change for the better. this happens in cases like yours. men just go crazy over their "never seen" children, for the first time.

    Yes, it is possible for him to get custody, though I would say unlikely, if he's never seen his daughter. But still, it depends on the conditions. I think you should get legal advise as soon as possible. Laws about this vary from state to state and country to country.

    Also, his wife can't "make" him do anything -- it's his choice to act, nothing else matters. I'd leave her out of the considerations. Your daughter's dad is doing what he is doing, that's all that matters.

    Your daughter's father does have the legal right to atleast get visitation of your daughter,just as much as you have a legal right to get child support. The child needs to see both parents,as most courts would determine under the "best interest of the child"

    In most of these cases he was denied access, or knowledge of the child, so yes.

    If the father hasn't shown any type of want to see his daughter her whole life, i pretty much doubt he'll get custody.

    How old is she?
    If old enough, she can decide for herself who she wants to live with... and if she goes against living with her dad and the court sees that, i'm sure she'd stay with you.

    They might stop his child support, however since he doesn't get visitation.

    Is he filing for custody or joint custody with parental rights. Have you been denying him access, that being why he had to file? Over 60% of fathers are denied while the mother claims he didn't want to see the child.
