More details to this question:
I was never married to the father. He pays child support but for a long time, he didn't. I have allowed him to take her for weekends. Now, he won't bring her back and it is always a fight. His house is filthy and I don't want my daughter there any longer. He is also controlling.

IF he is not on the birth certificate, he is not legally Dad. If there is no court order for visitation, you can decide not to give him the child until there is a court order.
