Four weeks out of 52 is really not a lot of time. As long as he is not physically abusing her I think that he should be aloud this little time, weather the daughter likes it or not. Don’t forget that she is only 12 and maybe when she is older she would value that little time she had with her father.
I know sometimes my daughters are unhappy when they are with me. I run a tighter ship than my exwife. We just have different parenting styles, as does you and your daughter’s father. It is unreasonable to expect him to raise your daughter in the exact manner that you do.
One thing you have to keep in mind with the couch, drinks, and television is that you are hearing this second hand, and it might not be as bad as your daughter portrays it to be.
Best advise I could give is to talk to him, and see if there is anything that could be done to make her visits more pleasant. If he isn’t around 12 year olds all the time, he really isn’t going to know what they are like and what there needs are.
As far as the child support I would defiantly get it revised if you feel that you are not getting your fair share. Personally I would wait until she comes back to get that ball rolling.
