My ex boyfriend and father of our kid was physically abusive to me. He wants to see our daughter now. How can I prevent this?

- I'd recommend getting a lawyer. If he doesn't have custody, he would need to go to court in order to force you to let him see the child. I'd recommend getting ahead of the train and getting one yourself. Discuss your options with them. Specifically, I would talk about the risks and rewards of trying to get a restraining order, vs. waiting to see if he's going to press charges. The threats make me think you should press charges, just in case, especially if your child could be in danger.

Also, if he doesn't have any custody, you can move away without telling him. He might find you, but at least it will buy you time. I would recommend that, based on the fact that he has violent tendencies. Only tell people that you trust, and try to go somewhere that he wouldn't guess. You can also pay to stay out of the phone books.
Since you said he's threatening you, don't be afraid to let CPS know about the situation, and don't hesitate to call the police.

Finally, just in case for whatever reason he does manage to get time alone with her, make sure that your daughter has a way to contact you, and that her location is shared with you. I don't know how old she is, but if she isn't old enough that you would want her to have a phone. They make smart watches for children with a GPS in them.
