Where do I stand in any of this, let me give a little back story, my ex boyfriend left when I was pregnant with DD and said he doesn't want to be part of her life, after 5 months and a child maintenance letter he wanted to be involved, after quite abit of thought I allowed him to meet her when she was 5 months old, he has been nothing but inconsistent and he doesn't show any sign at all that he even cares about her in anyway at all, he always seems to be more interested in what I've been up to since the split and things like that, DD is now 1 year old and he wants to take me to court, he's not on her birth certificate as he wasn't present at the birth, he was not a part of her life, he doesn't show an interest in her, I even allowed him to take her out for the day with his mother because apparently he can't look after her on his own, after his mother meeting her he all of a sudden wants to take me to court but before hand he couldn't care less, he wants to live a lad life style which does not make room for DD, also he lives nearly two hours away from me, what should I prepare and what should I expect in all of this.

Ah ok sorry I don’t live in England🤷‍♀️keep forgetting there are different laws etc. Don’t know anything about legal aid in England either so if you say he can’t get it on the basis he’s a policeman then you must be right

Do nothing for now, stop all contact and carry on with your life.

He can't initiate any application for access or visits until he has gained Parental Responsibility. There is a huge backlog in the Family Court and urgent cases are prioritised (which this is not). It could be up to a year or more before the first hearing for any PR application. Nothing to be gained by worrying.
