Birth certificate dilemma

I have just had a beautiful baby daughter. Her father is basically useless and only bothers when it suits him. I have no issue with him having access to her but I am worried about something.
If he is on her birth certificate and something happens to me will he get full custody of our daughter?
I wouldn't want this to happen because I don't think he is responsible enough to look after her full time. Thanks

He needs to pay child support. Why should you bear the full cost and if you need to claim benefits why should tax payers subsidise this man?

To be honest mince I don't think it will be an easy ride getting anything off him anyway. I work and will be going back after maternity leave so I'm happy with the outcome.
