None is the simple answer IF you were Married and IF your ex agreed then you MAY be able to apply for your partner/husband to adopt the child.
Lots of Ifs and trouble in all this--- best to see a solicitor and get the support of anyone who is helping you with the record of his interferance so that and order can be made to change the situation of his attendance on his child...
I am all for parents seeing their children but some parents (not just fathers) just don't deserve the privilege and they can be stopped.
Hope it all works out for you.

Even if you got married, her natural father would still have his rites - and im sure your partner cannot adopt your child unless her father says so.
You need to seek some legal advice.
It's not a good idea to keep your ex from his child unless he is causing upset in the childs life - the child will only hold it against you if later years. If she has a natural dad who wants to be part of her life - let him be. She can have the best of both worlds.
Society is always complaining about absent fathers - dont push hers away. She has a rite to know who he is.

You should make an appointment with a family law solicitor. You are able to make an application to the court to stop contact, but the courts take the best interests of the child into consideration and if contact withthe child's father is so detrimental to her welfare then the court may decide to stop contact. This is unlikely, as it is usually considered best to have some contact with both parents, but your solicitor will be able to advise you further, taking all the details into consideration. Your partner will not be able to adopt your child unless her father agrees.

ever think of making this a legal marriage, and applying for adoption, so then this will not happen.
