Non payment of child support is a criminal matter
Visitation is a civil matter.
Non payment of Child support is not grounds for a court to deny visitation.
The law supports his right to see his child.
There are things you can do, but it also based on his criminal record. Upon your say so that he is a drug dealer has no weight. If he has a violent criminal record, this can be taken into consideration by the court.
If you want to spend a lot of money, you can have the court demand it be supervised visits -- you'll have to get a lawyer that can convince a judge of this........good luck.
I know this sucks, but parental rights supersedes your wish he doesn't see his daughter.
Peace

The only way to do that is to go to court and prove that he is unfit to be a father. Even then he will still get visitation rights. You say he was a drug dealer, maybe he is in prison. If he is that will certainly help your case.

I assume he had visitation rights in the original divorce papers. Does he pay child support? You can get an attorney and petition the court to change the original order. You may or may not succeed.

You can't. It's just that simple.
EDITED TO ADD:
Will the person who didn't like my answer please post the statute of ANY state which allows one parent to terminate the rights of the other parent?
I'll wait.
And Just Plain Jim: Non-payment of child support is NOT necessarily a criminal matter. There are threshholds which must be met for it to move from civil to criminal and then only on a finding from the court.
The threshhold for the non-payment to be a federal crime is $5,000 and a list of other criteria which MUST be met.

Is there any sort of order in place right now?
You need to file for a petition of sole custody, which based on the circumstances you have given us, would likely be granted.
You can never really permanently terminate his rights, but an order of sole custody in your favour would certainly make it more difficult for him to ever get rights back.

Make sure you terminate your claim to any child support too. See a lawyer.

You can't unless you are married to someone who wants to adopt her.
