How can I ensure that I will have 100% custody of my child?

I had my daughter one week ago. Her biological father decided when I was pregnant that he did not want to be involved at all. He has not provided any financial support, has had zero involvement, and his name is not on her birth certificate. He lives in another state. My fear is one day down the line he will decide he wants to be a part of her life and try to come back in it. He told me he would wave his parental rights over to me. Is there a way for him to sign her rights over to me? What steps can I take to prevent him from one day having a change of heart and coming after custody or visitation rights?

If the paralegal who oversaw the divorce did not ask for financial documentation before filing, can I reopen the case?

Earlier this year, my parents divorced and my father found an "easy and quick" paralegal office to proceed with the case. The Final Judgement says that they provided a financial affidavit, but my mother was never asked to turn in any paperwork, documents, or financial history and she never saw any of my father's. The paralegal asked them questions and they responded out loud while the paralegal wrote it all down, but again, did not ask for any financial documentation to prove what they were saying. We are convinced that my father stole money from their joint bank account for years to fund his affair. Is there any way to reopen this case in court?
