¿Puedo obtener la patria potestad de mi hija si estoy en otro país?

I have a 4-year-old daughter. Her father left for the United States three years ago and has not taken responsibility for her since my financial situation forced me to leave the country, leaving my daughter in Honduras. I take full responsibility for everything concerning my daughter, yet he does not help her in any way. Now that I want to obtain my daughter’s passport, he refuses to give me authorization and will neither assist her nor authorize the necessary paperwork for the child. For this reason, I want to pursue patria protestad, but I do not know how to proceed in this case.
