Tp - I'm sorry that you had to agree to this violent unpleasant man having access to his daughter. Does he pay towards her upkeep? If not, then the CSA ought to be notified, so that they can work out a right and proper amount he should be contributing. The CAB will advise you on your rights, but if you can prove how he's treated you - and in front of his daughter - then maybe he'd get only supervised access rights, which'd be safer and make you feel less anxious. As Daisycup says, note down everything unpleasant, with time and date - any threats, abusive phone calls, etc., and produce these as evidence. I'm sure that a Welfare Rights Officer could also advise you of your legal rights (free of charge) if you contacted your Council or local MP.
