help with going after dead beat dad

My daughter is six years old and in her short life her biological father has been in and out and never made her a priority. Now after years of never being there or being financial responsible for her, he is now taking me to court to take her away from me. I need help with getting a lawyer to fight him in court. He won a lawsuit which resluted in him getting a large sum of money and now thinks that with a lawyer he can just take her away from me.  Please help me get the help I need. It has only ever been her and me.  I only need 2,000 to get started. After that I would appreciate everyone donating to others instead of going over my amount. Anything is appreciated. Thank you so much!
