I provide for her and all. He hasn’t paid child support in a month.

Public policy under the laws of all states in this country is to foster relations between parents and minor children. Unless there is evidence that your daughter's father is unfit as a parent most likely he will get some semblance of joint custody of his child. The issue is degrees of visitation and actual custody.
