Unmarried couple custody questions?

I became involved with a man and we have a child together, we lived together during conception and the birth but since have split up. I have allowed him to come visit at anytime and truly kept to that. Now he is wanting me to bring her to his house and leave her for visitations, but I can't do that because he has never kept her by himself, he has not provided her with anything since I've been gone. He's left my family to do his work. Now he is threatening to take me to court. When she was born we both signed the Birth Cert. and she was named his last name. I'm in South Carolina. He is still legally married to his second wife, and he also has to Domestic Abuse Charges against him. One with his first wife and one with his second wife, there was a third charge but the second wife didn't show up for court. My daughter has never stayed a night without me except for the second week of her life, I had to go back into the hospital for a staff infection and he wouldn't even take care of her, my mom had to do it. Whom in this case is considered the custodial parent and what type of chance does he have? Do I need to patition the courts for sole custody now. Please help. I'm out of work right now but I will do what is best for my daughter. I want her daddy to be a part of her life, but he needs supervision...He has a real bad anger problem and he can't stand to hear her cry. Please, any advise.

Yes you need to file for sole custody ASAP and also file for child support. At this time if it has not been awared though the state that one of you have custody then you want to bet him to the puch as they say and file. Call free legal services in your ares they go by incom so you would quality. You can also appy for assistance though the state and when you do that they will also go after child support. If I were you when you file for divorce I would tell the judge about his history of abuse and ask that he have limited visitations and possibily supervised.
