What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NEVADA

I have overstayed my tourist visa here in the US and gave birth to my child with a US Citizen. I have been here in the US since 2015. My partner and I have had several talks of getting married and processing my green card. But it's all been just "talks" and "plans" it's been more than a year and I am still illegally staying in the US. I don't think my partner really plans on marrying me. I have been stuck in the house and I am not able to work or make my own money. I can't drive either so I can't really go anywhere.

If I voluntarily go back to the Philippines and face getting barred from entering the US for 10 years I will not see my daughter for 10 years. This is so heart breaking. I have been patiently waiting for my partner to do something because I want to be with my child while I try to make a career for myself here in the US. I have a degree and a profession back in the Philippines.

If I go back to my country, the only way I can see my daughter is if my partner decides to go visit me and bring our daughter. This is unlikely because it's expensive and time-consuming on my partner's part. Even if I get to see her once or twice a year, this is unacceptable. She is my baby. I am her mom. I need to be with her every single moment of her young life.

Am I able to bring my child with me back to the Philippines if I get deported? Does filing for a child custody cover jurisdiction outside of the US too?
She does not have a Passport yet, the father refuses to get one for her so I can't take her. I don't want to take her away from him too but I have to go back home if he does not plan to marry me anyway. I feel like I am being trapped into staying here stuck at home with no money, no relatives and no friends.
