    In a word - impossible. You cannot force a parent to be an active parent OR take an interest OR not upset you. You CAN take him to Court for support. I presume you have.

    If you MUST have a passport for your daughter take him back to Court and request that he be ordered to sign.

    It varies a little bit by State but he has not abandoned his child. You cannot force him to relinquish his rights.
