Custody and Visitation Issues: Daughters Father is Filing for Custody to Avoid Child Support and Jail Time

My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Ohio

My daughter’s father has filed a motion against me for reallocation of parental rights and responsibilities. I’ve never denied him his rights. In 2010 I canceled child support and gave him joint custody because he promised to be more involved. Even after joint custody and canceling child support he never even followed through with the custody agreement. I have proof of Facebook messages between us starting back from 2010. Messages showing that I have been trying for years to get him more involved with his daughter. He uses the excuse of me living in Cleveland being the reason he can’t see his daughter. But has no problem with traveling to Cleveland to attend a Cavs game or to gamble at the casino.He wants me to do the dropping off and pick up, making it convenient for him. He has never been a consistent father. Even when I lived in Akron he was not consistent. It has been years at a time that he has gone without seeing her. She is 11 years old now and since I moved 9 years ago, she has only seen him 4 times. Ages 2, 4, 8 and 10. Our daughter has a medical condition that has put her in the hospital several times. He has never been to the hospital to visit. He doesn't even call to check on her. He shows no concern for her at all. I feel that he's only doing this because hes in contempt for child support. He has to make consistent payments each week on time and he has not done so and is facing jail time come May. He doesn't even know my child. However two summers ago I put in the effort to drive down so that he could spend time with her. Once he was contacted by child support he went ghost again and stop contacting her. Whenever he gets mad about child support he takes it out on her. I have never denied him rights. But now I feel it has been so long, I dont agree to any type of custody. He doesnt even have a relationship with her. I dont even know where he even resides or his living arrangement. He knows nothing about her, not even the important things such as her health condition or the medication she even takes. I feel that If I wouldnt have gotten child support involved again then I would not even be attending a court hearing. He's doing this because of child support. He wants custody but at the same time couldn't even afford to pay the filing to file the motion. He does not work which was verified through child support, so he has no means of financially taking care of our child. He lives off of his other kids mom child support that he receives from her. I work fulltime and just graduated from College in December. Our daughter is well taken care of and gets very good grades in school. I believe as a parent, I have been very fair to him over the years. Is there a counter claim I can file against his motion?
