A: If there isn't a court order regarding visitation, you don't have to allow visitation. If he persists, get a protective/restraining order from the court.

A: You need to talk to an attorney about your situation. As Ms. McGill noted, if there is no custody order in place, you don't have to allow him to see her. If there is, you need to talk to an attorney about revising the order.
