More details to this question:
My ex and I had been living together for two years, filed our taxes as married and claim OUR daughter as OUR dependent. Now that we are separated he wants to see her. I have no issues with him spending time with her, I just don't want him to run off with her.He isn't on her birth certificate, and he's denying that we are common law married NOW, prior to this he referred to me as his wife.

If there is no custody agreement that designates visitation, then no. You do not have to allow him to have time with her. Warning though, if you deny him too much, he will probably file for visitation through a paternity action. If you seek child support, then visitation may be set at that time as well.
