Go to court to get a steady visitation scheduled set and get child support. Getting child support does not mean that you are an unfit mom or can't raise her by yourself. Don't let him off the hook make him own up to his responsiblities. If you don't need the money for everyday needs then put it in a bank account for her.

It doesn't matter how you feel about him (as long as he's not a danger, of course) or about his new girlfriends. I believe that, as long as he's a good dad even if it's not very often then he's entitled to be in his child's life.

You need to put your feelings aside, stop being selfish, and let him have a relationship with his daughter if that's what he wants.

It sounds like you're still bitter, and jealous over his new relationships. If you keep them apart, you will be the one who your daughter resents when she grows up.

my best friend was in a very, very similar situation a few years ago. tell him to take a hike and leave both of you alone... you will be fine without him. keep a picture so you can show your daughter one day when she asks. then enjoy your precious little one and know you are saving her from having her heart broken every time he would have decided to play jack in a box.
