Mother Refuses Child Support And Wont Allow Visitation Rights

My daughter is 6 years old and I haven't seen her since she was one. Her mom keeps moving and refuses to let me even see her. Her mother has recently married and in the last few months moved from Louisiana to Washington. I had to find this out through third parties. My name is on the birth certificate and she did not notify me or the state that she was moving with my little girl, she just up and left. I do have a child support case for my daughter, but her mother refused so the order is for $0.
I think her mom believes if I'm not paying support then I don't have the right to see her but I offered and she wouldn't accept it. She even sent $2400 back to me when I first tried to pay.
I miss my baby girl and am really teed off. A couple months ago an attorney called me that the mother had hired. He wanted me to sign away my parental rights so her new husband could adopt my daughter based on the facts that I hadn't paid support in years and hadn't seen the girl. When I informed him that she refused support and was hiding my daughter from me, the attorney dropped the case, but what's to keep her from trying this in Washington and telling them she has no idea how to reach me? Any suggestions?
