Hi mama, no advice here but if you are down for play dates im in San Leandro:)
Do both. Take his ass to court. The only person benefitting from you being nice is him, meanwhile your daughter is unsupported
Yes, Consult with a lawyer. It’s probably best to file for both custody and support.
If you can afford a lawyer definitely go that route they can help you with child support and full custody in one go round. But you gotta make sure you're able to serve him first, because without him getting served they can't start the cases & with him being in Hawaii that'll probably be hard.

Yes to both of ur questions, take his ass to court 🥰
