Hello joa:

He might win primary custody, but you'll get very liberal visitation. The courts won't keep a mother from her child unless they have reasons. You haven't given any.

I don't know about the custody actions, but please be careful. He's obviously not thinking about the best care of your daughter. You can't forget that the child is going to be hurt by this too, so don't forget that. It's not just you and him. She isn't a pawn.
