A couple of important issues here.
1) He can try to ignore you and hope you go away, however he cannot ignore or outrun the state's Child Support Enforcement people. You should contact them now to get the paperwork started.
2) It is important to establish paternity ASAP after birth of the child. =I had a friend who had a kid, not at all planned but he stepped up and paid support and had his name on the birth certificate. Unfortunately, he died in a car crash... But because paternity was established the young child (child's mother controls the money as the representative payee) now gets a check every month from social security. Had paternity not been established she wouldn't be getting anything.
