You should file a paternity action to establish your parental rights.

Also, make sure any payments you are making voluntarily reference they are for child support if you pay by check or money order. If you pay her cash, make sure you get her to sign a receipt acknowledging you are giving her the money for support. This way, if she files before you and requests support, you get credit for all the payments you are making.
