I do not know this for a fact but I do not think he should be able to contest it. Even if he did it sounds like you have a good case for abandonment except for the fact that it sounds like he has seen her in the past year and for abandonment to be enacted both child support and not seeing the child have to be true. In my case it was not considered abandonment because he was incarcerated and could not pay child support but he did write letters so that eliminates abandonment.
Do you know for a fact that he is going to contest it or are you just assuming since he may have money now? If he signed the consent form maybe money had nothing to do with it. He may just want to move on with his life and really not want anything to do with his DD. Sad but possible. You did say he has not made any real effort to see her on his own.
Good luck with your case and keep us posted.
