You should get a lawyer ASAP.
If you are afraid of him, you should seek a restraining order and try your best to keep him from finding out where you've moved to.
If both of you cannot agree on custody, that will be decided by the courts - a lawyer will make your life easier.
There are lots of resources at women's centres! Track down your local one and speak with people there.
Good luck! I hope it works out for you.

No he can't keep your child from you. However, if you continue to not get along with your Dad he could get her away from you legally saying you're not mature enough to be a parent. Do everything you can to get along (I don't mean you should blindly do everything he says). Try not to fight over things that don't matter all that much. Pick your battles. If you move the only way to keep him away is to get a restraining order and that won't be easy. You'd have to prove (legally) that he shouldn't be around the child. If this is only a matter of you trying to prove you're grown up enough, it only proves the opposite. People who cannot get along with their parents still have some growing up to do. Think of the baby and not yourself. All children deserve to have a family and an extended family. There are things grandparents can provide that parents cannot mostly in the way of emotional and familial relations.

your child needs a stable home. Are you able to provide that? If not, leave the child with your parents until you can. And if you follow my advice, please do not abandon the child. Call every day. visit often. the last thing you want to do is become a stranger to your child. that way when the day comes for you to get him/her back, it won't traumatize them because they are leaving with a stranger.
I suggest you go get on welfare, they will set you up with a place to live, and help you get on your feet. If they offer you any kind of job training, take it. I have kids all in their twenties now, and they all have yet to listen to me when I say life is SO much easier when you are trained with a skill that few people know how or able to do, as opposed to try and raise a family on minimum wage.
