When you show up in court - the judge will not want to hear you badmouth her father. You cannot say "I don't want my daughter to be near him because he lives with his girlfriends parents and he hits her and he has a drinking problem" Don't do it. The judges have heard it all - and they never know if it's the truth or not anyway. People lie in court to get their way - ALL THE TIME!
Go in and talk about your bond with your daughter. Tell them that your house is drug and alcohol free (if it is) - and tell them all of the wonderful things that you provide for her now - and want to continue to provide.
Unfortunately - you made a baby with an alcoholic who tends to get violent.
If you have primary custody of her - he'll probably be told that he has to travel to YOU to see her - and I doubt they'll make you pay any of the travel fees. BUT - my boyfriend has a little girl. And her mother moved out of state - and my boyfriend had to pay everytime he flew to see her. And - the airfare was split each time she came to spend time with her Dad.
It's important to get a clear picture of WHAT kind of physical punishment her Dad is administering. It is quite legal to spank your kids or give them a slap on the hand. Didn't you discuss how you would punish your children before you had a child together?
Get a lawyer. It will be pricey. Make sure you do a lot of research on the internet - so you're not spending a bunch of $$$$ to get questions answered that you could have researched yourself.
I know he may seem horrible to you. But remember --- he's the only Dad she's got.

There isn't any such factor as a navy divorce. All divorces are civil concerns. Having stated that, the quantity of baby aid is established on earnings. If there's a courtroom order in situation that states how so much baby aid he will have to pay, then that is what he demands to pay. The handiest method he would petition the courts to lessen the quantity is that if his occasions transformed and he out of the blue began making enormously much less cash. As for sending extra money at any time when his ex asks for it, he isn't obligated to do this and he's correctly a idiot to take action.

I wouldn't worry. If you can bring copies of the police reports that you at least called to complain about the abuse to court. Bring as much proof as possible about his neglecting to pay support, lack of visitation, etc.
Otherwise, there is nothing you can do. A father has a right to see his child.
